With the distinguished wavefront characteristics of vortex electromagnetic wave carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM), the OAM beams have been exploited for radar imaging in recent years. In this paper, the computational imaging model is built using OAM wave, which enables the target reconstruction with limited measurements. The measurement matrix is designed, and the target reconstruction method is proposed in the Cartesian coordinate. Simulation results indicate that the proposed computational imaging approach is robust against noise influence. Furthermore, the outdoor experiments are carried out, for the first time, to validate the super-resolution imaging ability of this novel technique. Experimental results show good agreement with theoretical analyses. This work can advance the development of OAM-based sensing technology.
