    摘要: A device is provided that includes a first waveguide configured to guide propagation of RF waves inside the first waveguide. A first side of the first waveguide is configured to emit an evanescent field associated with the propagation of the RF waves inside the first waveguide. The device also includes a second waveguide having a second side positioned within a predetermined distance to the first side of the first waveguide. The second waveguide is configured to guide propagation, inside the second waveguide, of induced RF waves associated with the evanescent field from the first waveguide. The device also includes a first probe coupled to the first waveguide and configured to emit the RF waves for propagation inside the first waveguide. The device also includes a second probe coupled to the second waveguide and configured to receive induced RF waves propagating inside the second waveguide.

    摘要: A radio frequency rotary coupler with its power dividers/couplers separated among multiple circuit layers that are axially stacked and interconnected using coaxial feeds. This architecture allows for multiple layers of circuits with minimal outside diameter and while minimizing increase in axial length. The coupler includes a stator, rotor, and dynamic capacitive ring. The stator includes at least a first stator circuit layer with a primary stator power divider (SPD), a second stator circuit layer with at least one secondary SPD, and stator coaxial feeds coupling the primary SPD and the secondary SPD(s). The rotor includes a first rotor circuit layer with a primary rotor power divider (RPD), a second rotor circuit layer with at least one secondary RPD, and rotor coaxial feeds coupling the primary RPD and the secondary RPD(s). The dynamic capacitive ring couples the stator and the rotor via the secondary SPD(s) and RPD(s).

    摘要: A non-contacting rotary interface has a first core with a first pair of balanced transmission lines coupled to the first core and a second core moveable in relation to the first core with a second pair of balanced transmission lines coupled to the second core and configured to receive signals from the first pair of balanced transmission lines. The first pair of balanced transmission lines has a first transmit wire coupled to a termination point at a first end of the first transmit wire, a first transceiver coupled to the first transmit wire at a second end of the first transmit wire, a second transmit wire coupled to the termination point at a first end of the second transmit wire, and a second transceiver coupled to the second transmit wire at a second end of the second transmit wire. The balanced transmission lines may be electrical traces on a circuit board.

    摘要: A high speed communication apparatus for a Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT) scanner utilizes large diameter slip rings to permit continuous rotation of a rotatable gantry. A communication signal is applied at a first point on one slip ring, and is terminated by a resistive termination point 180.degree. opposite the driving point. The communication signal may then be received at any point on the slip ring by a receive connection and a matching receive connection which are 180.degree. opposite one another. The drive and termination connections to the slip ring may be made by brushes, with the receive and matching receive connections being made by a physical connection to the slip ring. Alternately, the drive and terminate connections may be made by physical contact, with the receive and matching receive connections being made by brushes.

    摘要: Reception and transmission of radio frequency signals is performed between the rotary portion and the stationary portion via an electromagnetically coupled portion in which a microstrip formed along substantial one lap of the circumference having a length equivalent to an odd multiple of substantially 1/2 of the electrical wave length of the transmitted radio frequency signal is electromagnetically coupled with a microstrip having a length equivalent to an add multiple of substantially 1/4 of the electrical wave length of the radio frequency signal.

    摘要: Disclosed is a rotating joint used in radars to transmit electrical signals on several channels between a rotating antenna and a fixed support. The pass-band of the matched and coupled circuits of each channel is substantially improved by making these circuits on concentric, circular rings which have metallic ground strips deposited on both faces, said strips being connected by metallized holes, and metallic strips of coils connected by the facing sections of the rings.
