Vortex Waves and Channel Capacity: Hopes and Reality

Several recent contributions have envisioned the possibility of increasing currently exploitable maximum channel capacity of a free-space link, both at optical and radio frequencies, by using vortex waves, i.e., carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM). Our objective is to disprove these claims by sh...
