200 Gb/s Wireless Transmission Using Dual-Polarized OAM-MIMO Multiplexing With Uniform Circular Array on 28 GHz Band

In this letter, we present a dual-polarized orbital angular momentum multiple-input.multiple-output (OAM-MIMO) with uniform circular arrays (UCAs) that achieves a transmission rate of over 200 Gb/s. We design and evaluate the properties of microstrip antennas on 28 GHz band and then fabricate the antennas and implement them on a transmitter and receiver with four UCAs disposed concentrically. Each UCA consists of 16 microstrip antenna elements and is connected to a Butler matrix that can generate and separate five OAM modes (+/- 2, +/- 1, and 0). There is also a center antenna capable of transmitting mode 0, so the total number of antenna elements is 65 and 21 streams can be transmitted simultaneously. In order to maximize the transmission capacity, we use polarization multiplexing. We conduct two data transmission experiments at a distance of 10 m. In the experiment of virtual dual-polarized OAM-MIMO transmission, we achieved approximately 110 Gb/s transmission for both polarizations. In the experiment of 21 streams, simultaneous transmission of dual-polarized OAM-MIMO, the result of 201.5 Gb/s was achieved.

Automated summary

A dual-polarized orbital angular momentum multiple-input.multiple-output (OAM-MIMO) system using uniform circular arrays (UCAs) achieved a transmission rate of over 200 Gb/s. By utilizing Butler matrices and polarization multiplexing, multiple OAM modes can be generated and separated to enhance transmission capacity.
