    Abstract: A multi-mode antenna includes a feed network including a cascaded arrangement of a first phase shifter and hybrid coupler pair, which is responsive to a radio frequency (RF) input feed signal, and a second phase shifter and hybrid coupler pair, which is responsive to an RF feed signal generated at a second output port of the first phase shifter and hybrid coupler pair. First, second and third arrays of radiating elements are provided. The first array is responsive to a RF feed signal derived from a first output port of the first phase shifter and hybrid coupler pair; the second array is responsive to an RF feed signal derived from a first output port of the second phase shifter and hybrid coupler pair; and the third array is responsive to an RF feed signal derived from a second output port of the second phase shifter and hybrid coupler pair.
