Experimental validation reveals OAM enables high-capacity data transmission in MIMO systems, suggesting improved performance in wireless backhaul applications.
This paper presents a long-range experimental demonstration of multi-mode multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission using orbital angular momentum (OAM) waves for Line-of-Sight (LoS) wireless backhaul applications. A 4 × 4 MIMO system employing distinct OAM modes is implemented and shown to support multiplexing data transmission over a single frequency band without inter-channel interference. In contrast, a 2 × 2 plane wave MIMO configuration fails to achieve reliable demodulation due to mutual interference, underscoring the spatial limitations of conventional waveforms. The results confirm that OAM provides spatial orthogonality suitable for high-capacity, frequency-efficient wireless backhaul links. Experimental validation is conducted over an 100 m outdoor path, demonstrating the feasibility of OAM-based MIMO in practical wireless backhaul scenarios.
