Figure 2: 18 [GHz] near-field distributions of multiplexed Cassegrain reflector antenna simulated and measured at z = 56 [mm] and 183 [mm], respectively, when the edge of the main reflector is placed at z = 0.

(a,b,e,f,i,j) Simulated magnitude and phase of l = 0, l = +1, and l = −1 OAM modes, respectively. (c,d,g,h,k,l) Measured magnitude and phase of l = 0, l = +1, and l = −1 OAM modes, respectively.
