A method and device for generating synthetic vortex sound field (SVSF) with more mode number includes the following steps: (1) a transducer array composed of N transducer units is constructed, and each transducer unit emits a sound field to generate an initial sound field; (2) at the same time, the position of the transducer unit and the phase of the sound field emitted by each transducer unit are changed, and each change produces a sound field, and thus changings times produces of sound fields, wherein the way to change the position of the transducer unit is to rotate the transducer array as a whole; (3) the initial sound field is superimposed with s of sound fields generated in step (2), to obtain SVSF with more mode number. The method and device for generating vortex sound field (VSF) can be used for underwater communication or acoustic imaging.

A novel synthetic uniform circular array (SUCA) method for generating vortex electromagnetic (EM) wave carrying high orbital angular momentum (OAM) mode has the following steps. N antenna elements are placed radially to form a uniform circular array (UCA), where N is a positive integer. By rotating the array elements to various spatial locations, modifying their feeding phases, and superimposing the generated fields at various spatial locations, SUCA can beat the limit of space and configure more array elements to generate vortex electromagnetic (EM) waves carrying high mode OAMs. Meanwhile, due to the more synthetic array elements and smaller aperture than the traditional UCA, the purity of OAM mode is higher and it is more flexible to adjust the main lobe directions of these vortex waves carrying different OAM modes, and can generate vortex EM waves.
