Abstract / Description of output

Linear angular momentum multiplexing is a new method for providing highly spectrally efficient short-range communication between a transmitter and receiver, where one may move at speed transverse to the propagation. Such applications include rail, vehicle and hyperloop transport systems communicating with fixed infrastructure on the ground. This paper describes how the scientific concept of linear angular momentum multiplexing evolves from orbital angular momentum multiplexing. The essential parameters for implementing this concept are a long array at least at one of the ends of the link; antenna element radiation characteristics and the array element spacing relative to the propagation distance. These parameters are also backed by short-range measurements carried out at 2.4 GHz used to model the Rice fading channel and determine resilience to multipath fading.
