Orbital angular momentum (OAM) vortex electromagnetic waves can provide a new degree of freedom for information modulation at a physical level, which has great prospects of applications in the fields of wireless communication and radar imaging. The application of beam scanning techniques of phased array to OAM vortex electromagnetic wave can increase its communication coverage and expand the detection coverage of vortex radars. Firstly, in this paper, the principle of generating the beam steering vortex electromagnetic beam is discussed and the compensated phase formula for generating beam steering OAM beams is given by planar phased array. Secondly, considering the advantages of phased array antennas in beam scanning and OAM reconfigurability, a planar phased array with 8 × 8 antenna elements at 10 GHz is designed and fabricated. The performances of OAM beam steering and mode reconfigurability are verified. Finally, the performance changes of the deflecting OAM vortex beam at different scanning angles are discussed and analyzed. Simulations and measurements both show that there exist pattern distortion problems when steering angle of OAM beam becomes large. In this paper, the variation of the OAM mode purity is also studied when the scanning angle and the OAM mode number change. The results show that the planar phased array antennas can effectively generate the beam steering OAM vortex beams in a certain angle range. Hence, this paper can provide a reference for the OAM vortex electromagnetic wave communication and the vortex radar in the future.
