Abstract
The disclosed systems, structures, and methods are directed to an orbital angular momentum (OAM) receiver. The OAM receiver includes at least two receiver antenna elements to receive radiated OAM signal beams containing superposed order modes and to generate antenna element output signals based on the received OAM signal beams. The receiver antenna elements are positioned tangentially along a circular locus and spatially separated by a distance. A variable ratio combining unit operates to switch between the antenna output signals based on a high-rate periodic waveform that emulates unidirectional movement by the antenna elements to produce a pseudo-Doppler frequency shift. The variable ratio combining unit further modulates the antenna output signals based on the periodic waveform to impart a fractional pseudo-Doppler shift to each OAM mode and combines the modulated antenna element output signals in accordance with the fractional pseudo-Doppler shift to facilitate separation of the OAM modes.
