Jitter radiation, the emission of relativistic electrons in a random and small-scale magnetic field, has been applied to explain the gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission. The seed photons produced from jitter radiation can be scattered by thermal/nonthermal electrons to the high-energy bands. This mechanism is called jitter self-Compton (JSC) radiation. GRB 100728A, which was simultaneously observed by Swift and Fermi, is a great example to constrain the physical processes of jitter and JSC. In our work, we utilize jitter/JSC radiation to reproduce the multiwavelength spectrum of GRB 100728A. In particular, due to JSC radiation, the powerful emission above the GeV band is the result of those jitter photons in the X-ray band scattered by the relativistic electrons with a mixed thermal-nonthermal energy distribution. We also combine the geometric effect of microemitters to the radiation mechanism, such that the "jet-in-jet" scenario is considered. The observed GRB duration is the result of summing up all of the contributions from those microemitters in the bulk jet.
