A novel coaperture antenna based on the concept of mode composite transmission line and named mode composite antenna (MCA) is proposed in this communication. The MCA combines the structure of a monopole antenna and a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) slot antenna to form a new coaperture antenna. Because of the structure sharing characteristic in MCA, it can reduce the size of the antenna. The MCA serves as the monopole antenna supporting the surface current on the antenna patch in its low-band operation. In its high-band operation, the SIW will support TE10to excite the slot array. The two-mode operation has high isolation which makes the MCA a promising candidate for multiband application. The measured and simulated results agreed well and validated the feasibility of the MCA.
