Rf data link system between stationary and rotating components

A patent application (Publication Number: US20240027573A1) describes a system comprising a first component with a shaft having a waveguide core, a second component mounted to the shaft with an RF transmitter unit and a first antenna, and an RF receiver unit in the first component with a second antenna. The waveguide core of the shaft facilitates RF data transmissions between the antennas, with the system capable of operating in the millimeter-wave band and utilizing circularly polarized RF waves. The components also include sensors for data generation and patch antennas with specific substrate and metallic shapes for efficient transmission.
Furthermore, the system includes optical transmitter and receiver units optically coupled to the waveguide core, along with a sensor array and controller in the second component for data processing. The shaft's waveguide core is designed with a circular cross-section to minimize unwanted electromagnetic modes, and the system allows bidirectional RF data transmissions between the transceiver units. Additionally, a lidar sensor array is integrated into the rotating component, with the sensor controller facilitating data exchange with the RF transceiver units. Overall, the system offers a comprehensive solution for RF data transmission and sensor data processing, showcasing innovative design elements for efficient communication and data handling in various applications.
