The invention discloses a circularly polarized eddy electromagnetic wave generating element based on an eight-arm 
Archimedean spiral antenna, which relates to the field of 
radio frequency antennas. The circularly polarized eddy electromagnetic wave generating element comprises a 
dielectric substrate plate, a right-handed 
metal wire, a grounding 
metal ring, a coaxial feed, a micro-strip 
feed network and a 
metal reflecting plate. The right-handed metal wire is positioned on the front of the 
dielectric substrate plate. The grounding metal ring is positioned on the back of the 
dielectric substrateplate, and is connected with the eight-channel micro-strip 
feed network through the coaxial feed. The micro-strip 
feed network is a T-shaped junction with multi-stage sections and specified phase shift. The metal reflecting plate is located below the side, where the coaxial feed is arranged, of the 
dielectric substrate plate, and is electrically connected with the coaxial feed. By adopting an eight-arm Archimedes 
spiral antenna with a single micro-strip feed network and based on external feeding, the size of the antenna and the complexity of the feed network can be reduced, and eddy electromagnetic 
waves with adjustable polarization and OAM 
modes can be generated within a certain bandwidth.
