Abstract

Vortex electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have been widely discussed for potential applications in wireless communications. Belonging to the Laguerre–Gaussian beams family, such type of waves present a hollow conical shape and divergence characteristics along with a directional radiation. In this paper, an innovative method to produce omnidirectional OAM beams based on spatial transformation is proposed at microwave frequencies. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, a lens with omnidirectional radiation in the horizontal plane is designed and simulated with an incident vortex beam carrying the OAM mode l = +2. The designed lens can be potentially implemented with an all-dielectric medium showing a gradient permittivity distribution. Furthermore, the proposed lens presents good performances over a wide operational bandwidth spanning from 8 to 17 GHz. By converting the directional beam to an omnidirectional one, the proposed method opens the door to the potential development of microwave vortex antenna systems.
