Abstract

Electromagnetic waves bearing orbital angular momentum in the radio frequency range is a growing subject of study. The design of systems able to produce and/or to receive such waves is then of crucial importance. The aim of this letter is to characterize, in an anechoic chamber, a new type of antenna in the millimeter frequency band. The index-varying flat plate generates an electromagnetic wave carrying orbital angular momentum. We then extract the various modes from the radiated field.
