This contribution presents the design of a 60-GHz planar antenna system for radiative near-field region line-of-sight (LoS) link, based on an orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing. The antenna system is composed of a radial line slot array (RLSA) fed by a Butler network, made in post-wall waveguide technology, and located underneath the array. The network can launch different progressive phase states in the RLSA parallel plate waveguide (PPW) to radiate three different OAM beams. The design concept has been verified by prototyping and testing a 20 free-space wavelengths radius antenna. The measurements show that the proposed antenna can generate simultaneously the three OAM-mode states n = 0, -1, and +1.

Abstract
This contribution presents the design of a 60-GHz planar antenna system for radiative near-field region line-of-sight (LoS) link, based on an orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing. The antenna system is composed of a radial line slot array (RLSA) fed by a Butler network, made in post-wall waveguide technology, and located underneath the array. The network can launch different progressive phase states in the RLSA parallel plate waveguide (PPW) to radiate three different OAM beams. The design concept has been verified by prototyping and testing a 20 free-space wavelengths radius antenna. The measurements show that the proposed antenna can generate simultaneously the three OAM-mode states n = 0, -1, and +1.
