Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) Generation by Cylinder Dielectric Resonator Antenna for Future Wireless Communications

In this paper, we demonstrate that the solid cylinder dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) is a high radiation efficient device to generate orbital angular momentum (OAM) waves with different OAM modes at different frequencies.Theoretical formulations of its radiation fields are deduced in the cylindrical coordinate system, which shows that all comp
