Abstract
A novel 3-D-metal-printing multibeam orbital angular momentum (OAM)-generating transmitarray with dual-layer I-slot grating metasurface in the frequency range of 19 GHz to 21 GHz is presented in this letter. The dual-layer I-slot grating metasurface is proposed to achieve 360° phase coverage with a high transmission coefficient (≥0.9). 3-D-metal-printing technology is employed to fabricate transmitarrays due to easy process and low cost. To validate the proposed design, dual-beam and four-beam OAM-generating transmitarrays of the 32 × 32 array are simulated, fabricated, and measured. The experimental results show that the proposed transmitarray design effectively generates dual-beam and four-beam OAM vortex waves. The proposed design offers promising applications in future wireless communication systems of high-temperature, space and high-power environments.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
