Abstract
Electromagnetic (EM) feeds can illuminate a standard primary reflective antenna with a plurality of feed beams each having a different orbital angular momentum (OAM) or polarization. The reflective antenna, which can be a non-OAM antenna, can reflect the feed beams and thereby produce a composite OAM transmission comprising each of the feed beams. A non-OAM primary antenna can thus transmit a plurality of OAM feed beams as a composite OAM transmission.
