The invention provides a 
pitch angle imaging method based on vortex electromagnetic 
waves, and belongs to the field of 
radar target imaging. The traditional method is based on electromagnetic wave amplitude scanning, the amplitude scanning range of the traditional method is limited by the working bandwidth of an antenna, and is different from the traditional 
pitch angle imaging based on vortex electromagnetic 
waves. The 
pitch angle imaging method based on vortex electromagnetic 
waves can work at a single frequency point based on the phase information of an 
echo signal, so that the pitch angleimaging range is wide, and the requirement on the bandwidth of the antenna is low. The accuracy of amplitude scanning of the traditional method depends on the width of an electromagnetic beam, and thenarrower the electromagnetic beam is, the higher the imaging accuracy is, but the narrower electromagnetic beam is difficult to realize. The imaging precision of the 
pitch angle imaging method basedon vortex electromagnetic waves depends on the grid thickness during 
discretization of the 
pitch angle, and the imaging precision can be effectively improved by adopting thinner grids. The pitch angleimaging method based on vortex electromagnetic waves can realize the measurement of the 
pitch angle of 5-85 degrees, has wide measurement range, and has the imaging error lower than 1.2 degrees in the range of the pitch angle of 5-85 degrees.
