In contrast\, over the past three decades\, gr owing attention has been directed toward orbital angular momentum (OAM)\, which arises from helical (twisted) phase fronts and provides an additiona l degree of freedom through its orthogonal modal structure. In this talk\, we explore the use of OAM for integrated sensing and communications (ISAC )\, with the goal of enhancing spectral efficiency and spatial resolution in automotive scenarios. Unlike conventional uniform circular array (UCA)- based implementations\, our approach employs a uniform linear array (ULA) with traveling-wave antennas to synthesize multiple Laguerre-Gaussian vort ex beams. The proposed system embeds communication data within radar wavef orms while enabling joint estimation of target position and velocity using radar-only frames. An OAM-based mode-division multiplexing strategy is us ed to separate sensing and communication functionalities\, ensuring reliab le parameter recovery. We conclude with perspectives on the future of ISAC systems.\n\n[Joint work with Wanghan Lv]\n\nBio:\nKumar Vijay Mishra (S ’08-M’15-SM’18) obtained a Ph.D. in electrical engineering and M.S. in mathematics from The University of Iowa in 2015\, and M.S. in electrica l engineering from Colorado State University in 2012\, while working on NA SA’s Global Precipitation Mission Ground Validation (GPM-GV) weather rad ars.
