This paper shows the design concept of a reflector antenna with a small Vivaldi array feed antenna. The proposed design is employed for launching angular momentum (OAM) beams, as well as beam scanning applications. In the design procedure, the working mechanisms of the Vivaldi array fed-reflector ar...
