[0002] The angular momentum (AM) of an electromagnetic wave can be decomposed into spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM). One property of vortex waves is that multiple beams of different modes can be multiplexed through a single aperture to increase channel capacity, so that each vortex beam has a unique rotational phase front. OAM multiplexing technology enables different data streams to be transmitted on the same channel. Vortex waves have a rotational phase profile of exp(ilθ), where θ is the azimuth angle and l is an integer unbounded OAM mode. Vortex beams with different OAM modes are orthogonal to each other, and different data streams can be multiplexed on the same beam axis.

In addition, the reverse current between the two different states exhibits a nearly perfect 180° phase shift across the entire spectrum.

[0038] In this embodiment, a broadband electrically adjustable electromagnetic vortex metasurface system with 20×20=400 array elements is manufactured by using the above signal transmission array elements. Figure 5 , the array elements are arranged in a square array, and the phase compensation φ of each signal transmission array element satisfies the following relationship:

[0039] (1)

[0040] l is the OAM mode, x and y are the positions of the signal transmission array elements in the Cartesian coordinate system, λ is the working wavelength with a center frequency of 10 GHz, and the phase center of the broadband feed source 20 is located at the focus F=5λ of the transmission beam.

[0041] In addition, the continuous phase is quantized by 1-bit phase as

[0042] (2)

[0043] According to the quantized phase distribution calculated by equations (1) and (2), the amplification modes of l=+1 and l=+2 are shown respectively. The 0 state is driven by 5V high voltage, the 180 state is driven by 0V low voltage, and the ground layer 1 is connected to the reference 2.5V medium voltage.

[0044] In order to characterize the OAM beam, radiation pattern, near-field amplitude and near-field phase, the purity of the OAM mode is an important indicator. l The structure is:

[0045]

[0046] Among them A l is the amplitude of the OAM state and can be described as:

[0047]

[0048] The simulation of 400-element broadband 1-bit OAM transmission at 9.5 GHz, 10.0 GHz and 10.5 GHz is carried out. The simulated normalized radiation pattern, near-field amplitude, near-field phase and OAM mode purity for l = +1 and l = +2 are shown in Figure 2. Figure 6 As shown. Specifically, the near-field simulation plane is selected at a distance of 5λ from the transmitted beam. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the proposed transmission line can generate a reconfigurable beam of 9.5 to 10.5 GHz with a broadband OAM mode and a mode purity greater than 0.94.

[0049] In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed broadband electrically tunable electromagnetic vortex metasurface system, a prototype was fabricated and tested. Figure 7 The fabricated metasurface system shown is coated with a layer of black solder mask, and all the pin diodes 323 on the metasurface system are soldered using surface mount technology. Figure 7As shown in Figure 1, we measured the performance of the proposed metasurface system in a darkroom. The broadband feed 20 was 105λ away from the metasurface module, and the planar near-field scanner with an open waveguide probe was 5λ away from the transmission line. The total scanning range was 40cm×40cm. The broadband feed 20 was fixed with a polyethylene bracket with a dielectric constant of 2.2. Both the broadband feed 20 and the metasurface module 10 were connected to a network analyzer (Keysight N5224A) to measure the near-field data. The measurement results are shown in Figure 1. Figure 8 As shown in Figure 1, each measured near-field pattern consists of 40×40=1600 electric field data, with a scanning resolution of 1 cm in both the x and y directions, and a scanning time of about 30 minutes for each OAM mode. The measured radiation pattern is also Figure 7 The simulated and measured gains of the two OAM modes at different frequencies are given in Table 1. The minimum mode purity measured in the operating frequency range is 0.88. The small difference between the simulation results and the measured results is due to the diode manufacturing tolerance, pin resistance loss and environmental noise. The simulation results are in good agreement with the measured results, proving the effectiveness of the proposed broadband 1-bit electronically reconfigurable OAM transmission scheme.

[0050] Combination Fig. 9 The broadband electrically adjustable electromagnetic vortex metasurface system of the above scheme can generate reconfigurable beams of l=+1 and l=+2 OAM modes from 9.5GHz to 10.5GHz, and the measured OAM mode purity is greater than 0.88. The measured maximum gains at l=+1 and l=+2 are 17.8dBi and 14.3dBi, respectively. Although our scheme proposes X-band OAM transmission of l=+1 and l=+2, this design idea can also be used for other frequencies and other OAM modes, and is not limited here. This scheme opens up a new direction for the generation of broadband programmable transmission lines and broadband OAM beams, and has potential application prospects in wireless communications based on OAM multiplexing.
