A waveguide rotary joint is used in
microwave communications to connect two different types of
RF waveguides. Because
coaxial parts are
symmetrical in ø direction, free rotation without performance degradation is accomplished. In the rotating part,
electrical continuity is achieved by λ/4-chokes eliminating metal contacts. The Rotary Joints can have both
waveguide ports at a right angle to the rotational axis, "U-style", one waveguide port at a right angle and one in line, "L-style" or both waveguide ports in line. "I-style". Waveguide Rotary Joint modules are available for all
frequency bands.
