The invention discloses a four-dimensional
antenna array used for an OAM (Orbital
Angular Momentum wireless communication mode. The four-dimensional
antenna array in such form is a method which can generate multiple OAM
modes at the same time. The basic structure of the four-dimensional ring
antenna array comprises antenna units, high-speed RF switches, a power divider and an FPGA circuit board. The maximum innovation of the invention is that as consideration is given to the influence from the existence of an OAM mode
weak field area to a mode transmission distance, the provided four-dimensional ring antenna array which is a method capable of generating multiple OAM
modes at the same time has obvious advantages when adopting a -1-1 switching form rather than a 0-1 switching form, and as the optimal
time sequence in the -1-1 switching form is provided, each switch is guaranteed to be conducted to a state 1 within a time period according to the sequence, and the
time duration taken for conducting each switch to the state 1 is same. Aiming at the influence from the
weak field area to the OAM mode transmission, a relationship among the size of a receiving area, a distance between the receiving area to the antennas and an accurate calculation mode is given to bring convenience to accurate reception of a needed mode.
