The channel matrix of the commonly used uniform circular array-based orbital angular momentum (UCA-OAM) system reaches the full-rank state when the degree of freedom (DoF) is limited only by the number of UCA antenna elements. The rank of the channel matrix of the UCA-OAM system is equal to DoF under this condition. However. the practical DoF of the UCA-OAM system is always affected b... https://www.opheliasmuse.com/
