Abstract A novel and feasible solution to generate plane spiral orbital angular momentum (PSOAM) vortex beam is proposed in this paper. The general principle of generating PSOAM in circular antenna array (CAA) is deduced, and verified by the simulation of the dipole CAA. Four double-slot Vivaldi antenna elements connect sequentially and are inserted into a CAA, which makes the proposed antenna easily fabricated and fully miniaturized. Both simulated and measured results show that it can generate PSOAM with l = 3 (l is the mode number of vortex wave) at 5 GHz. The vortex phase of l = 3 is observed, the measured peak gain is 5.7 dB. The VSWR remains below 2 from 4 to 6 GHz, which shows the impedance bandwidth of S11 < −10 dB is more than 40%.
