The invention provides an electromagnetic vortex wave generation method, which comprises the following steps: S1, calculating a target electromagnetic vortex wave
main lobe pointing angle and an emission
mode number range according to a given amplitude weighted concentric circular ring array structure; s2, obtaining an
excitation amplitude calculation formula according to an
orthogonal decomposition algorithm, and calculating excitation amplitudes corresponding to different emission mode numbers obtained in the step S1 under a target electromagnetic vortex wave
main lobe pointing angle based on the
excitation amplitude calculation formula; and S3, performing
simulation verification calculation to obtain a transmitting
modal number l and a corresponding
excitation amplitude Am, performing accounting on the ratio of
main lobe pointing to peak
side lobe of the electromagnetic vortex wave, and performing screening to obtain amplitude weighted concentric
annular array electromagnetic vortex wave transmitting parameters with low
side lobe and high pointing precision. According to the method, the electromagnetic vortex wave which generates the low
side lobe and is pointed by the given beam is derived and calculated by using the
orthogonal decomposition theory, and compared with a search-based
heuristic algorithm, the method has higher universality and real-time performance, and can widely and efficiently adapt to different scene requirements.
