Generation of Four-Channel Multi-Polarization Bessel Vortex Beams with Equal Divergence Angle Based on Co-Aperture Metasurface

This paper proposes a co-aperture reflective metasurface that successfully generates four-channel Bessel vortex beams with equal divergence angle in both Ka and Ku bands. Initially, a frequency-selective surface (FSS) is employed to suppress inter-unit crosstalk. Subsequently, modified cross-dipole metasurface units are implemented using spin-decoupling theory to achieve independent multi-polarization control. Through theoretical calculation-based divergence angle engineering, the dual-concentric-disk structure integrated with multi-polarization control demonstrates enhanced aperture utilization efficiency compared to conventional partitioning strategies, yielding high-purity equal-divergence-angle Bessel vortex beams across multiple modes. Finally, experiments on the metasurface fabricated via printed circuit board (PCB) technology verify that the design simultaneously generates x-polarization +1 mode and y-polarization +2 mode equal divergence angle Bessel vortex beams in the Ku band and ±3 mode beams in the Ka band. Vortex beam divergence angles remain stable at 9° ± 0.5° under diverse polarization states and modes, with modal purity reaching 65–80% at the main radiation direction. This work provides a straightforward implementation method for generating equal-divergence-angle vortex beams applicable to Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) multimode multiplexing and vortex wave detection.
