Claim:
1. An antenna structure, comprising: a plurality of antenna ports; a plurality of pairs of antenna elements, wherein each of the pairs of antenna elements is coupled to a different one of the plurality of antenna ports, wherein each of the plurality of pairs of antenna elements operates in a frequency range, and wherein at least some of the plurality of pairs of antenna elements are dual-resonant dipole arms; and one or more connection elements electrically coupling the plurality of pairs of antenna elements, wherein the one or more connection elements have a length, a shape and a conductivity that causes electrical currents on one of the plurality of pairs of antenna elements to flow to a neighboring one of the plurality of pairs of antenna elements, wherein the electrical currents have a magnitude such that a first antenna mode excited by one of the plurality of antenna ports is at least substantially electrically isolated from a second antenna mode excited by another one of the plurality of antenna ports at a desired signal frequency range.
