Abstract
This paper discusses the potential of 3D printing for the manufacturing of spiral phase plates for the generation of radio vortex beams for advanced radio communications. The design and prototyping of a number of phase plates for communications at 80GHz with radio vortex beams is discussed and their performance analyzed through computer simulations.
Keywords: 3D Printing, Radio Communications, Vortex Antenna, Spiral Phase Plate.
