MULTICHANNEL ROTARY JOINT SUPPORTIVE OF ENERGY IN AT LEAST THREE MUTUALLY ORTHOGONAL CIRCULARLY SYMMETRIC WAVEGUIDE MODES SIMULTANEOUSLY

摘要

An improved rotary joint for the transmission of high- and low-power electromagnetic wave energy between stationary and rotatable apparatus. Three independently excited high-power channels are provided in a single circular or coaxial waveguide joint. One or more independent low-power channels can be provided in the same rotary joint by means of coaxial transmission lines located within the center of the high-power circular or coaxial waveguide.
