Abstract
This study delves into the potential of harnessing the orbital angular momentum (OAM) property of electromagnetic waves in near-field and line-of-sight scenarios by utilizing large intelligentsurfaces, in the context of holographic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications. Thepaper starts by characterizing OAM-based communications and investigating the connection betweenOAM-carrying waves and optimum communication modes recently analyzed for communicating withsmart surfaces. Subsequently, it proposes implementable strategies for generating and detecting OAM based communication signals using intelligent surfaces and optimization methods that leverage focusingtechniques. Then, the performance of these strategies is quantitatively evaluated through simulations. Thenumerical results show that OAM waves while constituting a viable and more practical alternative tooptimum communication modes are sub-optimal in terms of achievable capacity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
