Description
Summary:Orbital angular momentum beams have been extensively researched due to their ability to enhance the channel capacity of microwave systems. Metasurface near-field calculations of different sizes have been completed. Near-field calculations with Gaussian noise for metasurfaces of different sizes were also completed. The presence of noise suggests that the vortex electric field generated by the small metasurface of the vortex wave may experience disturbance and be overwhelmed by strong noise. On the other hand, the large vortex wave metasurface exhibits superior anti-noise capability. Its anti-interference characteristic was verified by conducting full-wave simulations on metasurfaces of l = −3 and l = −5. Based on the OAM spectral analysis, the mode purity of the generated vortex waves was calculated in detail. Simulation results indicated that a large-scale metasurface exhibits stronger anti-interference capability, which may inspire the design and research of vortex wave metasurfaces in the future.
