Abstract
An indirect approach based on phase measurement is proposed to measure the rotational Doppler frequency shift, which takes full advantage of the phase structure of orbital angular momentum (OAM) beams in radio domain, using a vector network analyzer (VNA) as a phase discriminator. A proof-of-concept experiment is established by an optical-controlled system with the OAM state of 1. By analyzing the experiment’s results, the rotational Doppler frequency shift is measured as 24.83 Hz (max error rate 0.67%) at rad/s rotational velocity, deducing the rotational velocity as (average error rate 0.36%).
