With the increasing number of mobile terminals, high-quality and high-capacity communication is desirable for various practical applications. Improving communication capacity and spectral efficiency is thus a long-standing topic in the field of communication technology. The orbital angular momentum (OAM) is a subset of the multiple-input– multiple-output (MIMO) system but increases no additional gains in capacity.
The purpose of this project is to design an OAM mode reconfigurable antenna to ensure high channel capacity. The antenna will be initially simulated using Ansoft HFSS or CST Microwave Studio. Then, it will be fabricated and finally measured.
