Abstract
We have previously demonstrated an acoustic vortex wave antenna (VWA) based on a metamaterial aperture. This system produced arbitrary angular mode number waveforms,1 but did not produce pure integer mode vortex waves. In this work we extend our previous result to a design which radiates pure integer vortex modes. By combining an acoustic leaky wave antenna with a ring resonator waveguide we produce integer mode acoustic vortex waves. Further, we computationally show that this spatial mode can be transferred between two opposing acoustic vortex wave antenna in a "pitch - catch" configuration.
