What is a RF rotary joint?
A RF rotary joint/RF rotary union, we also call RF slip ring is used to transmit high-frequency or radio frequency (RF) signals from a stationary to rotating part, the RF rotary joint consists of two main components: the stationary part and the rotating part. The stationary part is typically mounted on the fixed structure of the system, while the rotating part is attached to the rotating component. These two parts are connected by a specialized interface that allows the transfer of RF signals.
The main function of an RF rotary joint is to provide a seamless connection between stationary and rotating parts of a system while allowing the transmission of high-frequency signals. Beyotransfer’s RF rotary joints are typically used in applications such as radar systems, satellite communication systems, rotary antenna for TV, RF measurements and other systems that require the transfer of RF signals across rotating interfaces.
To ensure uninterrupted transmission of RF signals, the rf coaxial rotary joint and waveguide rotary joint employ various techniques. They are typically utilize precision connectors, such as coaxial connectors, waveguide flanges, or fiber optic connectors, depending on the specific application and frequency range. The joint also incorporates high-quality, low-loss materials to minimize signal loss and maintain signal integrity during rotation.
