INTEGRATED ANTENNA TRANSCEIVER FOR SENSOR AND DATA TRANSMISSION ON ROTATING SHAFTS

摘要

A method and system for communication with assemblies comprising shafts (e.g., drive shafts, or other rotating objects) comprising use of helical antenna based components. In this regard, a helical antenna based component may comprise one or more helical antennas surrounding or wound around a shaft, with the one or more helical antennas being electrically decoupled from the shaft, and with the helical antenna based component being configurable to communicate the signals when the shaft is stationary or rotating.
