Analysis of Focusing Orbital Angular Momentum Wave Using Fabry-Perot Cavity

摘要

One of the biggest obstacles to the application of orbital angular momentum(OAM)in the microwave field is its divergence problem.This paper presents a full analysis of generating and focusing OAM waves using original and improved Fabry-Perot(F-P)cavities.Utilizing combination of microstrip antenna and original F-P cavity,the gain of the OAM antenna is enhanced from 4.0 dBi to 9.3 dBi and the corresponding divergence angle is decreased from 41to 24.To further improve the performance of the OAM antenna,the improved F-P cavity is introduced.The simulated results show that the gain is further enhanced to 12.0 dBi and the divergence angle is further decreased to be 15.
