Abstract / Description of output

This paper shows that the range of an Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) radio link can be at least doubled by using a 3D graded index lens to reduce beam divergence. This is a major step towards realizing practical high capacity OAM radio links using cheap, compact and light weight lenses.
