New dimension in vortex electro-magnetic wave transmission with orbital angular momentum by Chao ZHANG, Yuanhe WANG

“…Consequence:In order to illustrate the application scope and the outstanding advantages utilized by quantum OAM electromagnetic waves and statistical OAM Beams, this paper classifies the typical OAM transmission systems into four regions based on channel capacity.From the high channel capacity to the low channel capacity, Region A belongs to the quantum OAM transmission system with the new dimension of OAM, using vortex microwave photon to convey information, and the corresponding capacity bound can be enhanced to surpass the traditional multi-antenna MIMO capacity bound;Regions B,C and D belong to the statistical OAM vortex beams,which do not own new dimensions in MIMO transmission but have outstanding performance in the Line-of-Sight (LoS) channel. …”
