Description

Method for generating arbitrary order OAM wave by low order OAM array element ring array in-phase feeding
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of microwaves and antennas, in particular to a method for generating an arbitrary-order OAM wave by in-phase feeding of a low-order OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum) array element annular array with simple feeding.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of wireless communication technology, the problem of the frequency band utilization rate has been highlighted. As the number of users increases and the frequency range for wireless communication is fixed, the problem of bandwidth allocation has become serious. Vortex wave communication is a promising approach to solve the bandwidth shortage with low frequency band utilization, and has led to extensive research. Vortex waves are electromagnetic waves containing orbital angular momentum and have a spiral phase distribution and an annular field strength distribution. The different modes of vortex waves are mutually orthogonal when propagating, and the orthogonal characteristic allows the vortex waves of different modes to be multiplexed together, thereby realizing spatial multiplexing based on orbital angular momentum. Vortex waves are considered to be a solution to achieve high-speed, high-capacity, high-band utilization communications due to their theoretically infinite number of modes available.
The generation and reception of vortex waves is one of the key technologies for vortex wave communication. Summarizing, the methods for generating vortex waves generally include the following:
(1) The spiral phase plate method is a method of generating a vortex wave by passing a normal plane wave through a spiral phase plate. The spiral phase plate may distort the wavefront of the plane wave, i.e. a vortex wave is generated. The spiral phase plate is a microwave dielectric substrate with the thickness changing in proportion to the azimuth angle. When plane waves are incident on the surface of the spiral phase plate, the thickness of the phase plate changes along with the change of azimuth angles, and the plane waves incident on each azimuth angle have wave path differences, and the wave path differences lead to the delay of the phase, so that the plane waves have corresponding spiral wave front structures after being transmitted out of the spiral phase plate.
(2) The working principle of the spiral reflecting surface antenna is similar to that of the spiral phase plate, but the non-uniformity of the reflecting surface is utilized to enable reflected waves to have different wave ranges in different directions, so that phase difference is generated.
(3) Uniform circular array-the use of a circular array is one of the classical methods of generating vortex waves. The main principle of the method is that array elements are arranged into equidistant circular arrays, signals with different phase differences are applied to the array elements, and vortex waves with continuous phase changes along azimuth angles can be obtained after superposition. A uniform circular array is one of the most common methods for generating vortex waves, and the method is simple and visual in design and easy to implement. The disadvantage is that in order to achieve continuous phase change, a complex feed network is often required to be introduced, resulting in a complex overall structure and limiting the miniaturization development of the antenna array.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art, provides a method for generating random order OAM waves by feeding low order OAM array elements in-phase feeding, and is a method for generating random order vortex waves, which has a simple structure and is easy to realize.

The array elements are uniformly distributed on the circular ring, the array arrangement is easy, the in-phase feeding is carried out on each array element, the feeding network is simple, and OAM waves with different orders can be generated by selecting the number of the array elements.
The low-order OAM antenna radiating element can be in a regular polygon, a round shape, a ring shape and the like, can be in a patch structure on a dielectric substrate with a grounding surface or a patch or wire structure without a grounding surface, and is a low-order mode of the OAM radiating element, and is the simplest single antenna element capable of realizing a 1-order OAM mode. The antenna comprises a ring, a certain number of low-order OAM antenna radiating elements which are uniformly distributed on the ring in a rotationally symmetrical way, and a feed structure for carrying out in-phase feed on the OAM radiating elements on the ring with the same radius.
The N low-order OAM antenna radiating elements are uniformly distributed on the same ring at equal intervals at 360/N degrees of central angle. Meanwhile, the influence of the feeding position and the array element circumference llambda is considered, and a (360 multiplied by l)/N-degree space phase difference is introduced between adjacent array elements.
The in-phase feeding is carried out on each array element of the uniform circular array, the center of the circular array is taken as an initial feeding point, the circular array is connected with each array element through a feeder line, the in-phase feeding is carried out on each array element, and the feeder line can be various transmission lines such as a microstrip line, a coplanar waveguide, a parallel double line and the like.
The vortex wave radiated by the circular array is a phase singular point in the direction of a circular array rotating shaft, namely an array shaft, the small area of the inner layer close to the circular array shaft is a vortex wave with the fixed order of first order, and the outer layer is a (1-N) order vortex wave with the order completely determined by the number of array elements.
The invention uses the same-phase feeding mode for the uniform circular array elements, omits a complex feeding network in the traditional OAM method for generating the antenna array, greatly reduces the volume of the antenna and reduces the design difficulty of the antenna. In addition, by the mode, higher-order vortex waves can be generated, and the limitation that the traditional OAM antenna array can only generate vortex waves lower than N/2-order vortex waves is broken through. And moreover, the array elements of the OAM in-phase feed uniform circular array can be replaced according to practical application, and the OAM antenna array meeting corresponding requirements is designed.
