Three-Mode Vortex Wave Generator with Double-Layer Patch Antennas

With the development of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output technologies, researches on radio vortex wave with orbital angular momentum have become active. At the same time, generators of miniaturized planar antennas have become very interesting. Considering multilayer package, we proposed a uniform circ...

The antenna can generate three modes of vortex waves, which works at frequency 7.6GHz with a bandwidth 8.5%.
