| Title: | OAM Multiplexing Technology in the Sub-THz Band and its Extension to Multishape Radio |
| Abstract: | We are researching and developing technology with the aim of achieving terabit-class wireless transmission for the 6G/IOWN era. 6G/IOWN era will bring a variety of use cases, and extremely high requirements must be met. This trend will promote full utilization of the sub-terahertz (sub-THz) frequency band and the use of more sophisticated radio transmission techniques. Highly sophisticated radio wave utilization will open new possibilities. The representative case is wireless communication using Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) that has drawn much attention as an emerging candidate of 6G/IOWN era. OAM is a physical property of radio waves that are characterized by a helical phase front in the propagation direction. In this talk, basics of OAM multiplexing transmission and our recent experimental results done using millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-THz bands. Also, we present the world first experimental demonstration of 1.44 Tbit/s wireless data transmission based on OAM multiplexing in the sub-THz band. Finally, we extend our work to multishape radio that exploits the various physical properties of electromagnetic waves. Together with the utilization of OAM, multishape radio will lead to new opportunities toward the 6G/IOWN era. |
