PROJECT TITLE :

A New Approach to the Link Budget Concept for an OAM Communication Link

ABSTRACT:

Following on from the increasing interest for electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), different configurations of antenna systems ready to get such beams are proposed. But, in our opinion, a ancient radiation pattern approach will not provide the right picture of an OAM-based mostly communication link. For this reason, we propose a new general concept, the “OAM-link pattern,” which takes into account the peculiar part structure characterizing these waves. That specialize in OAM transmissions between antenna arrays, we tend to introduce a formula for the link budget evaluation that describes the whole communication link and directly results in a “classically formed” main lobe pattern for a proper rephased reception within the case of uniform circular arrays.
