Analog Devices offers a broad range of high performance integrated and discrete RF and microwave components across the entire frequency spectrum that enable application specific designs for a contactless Gbps-level data transmission via rotary joints. This article proposed an integrated and a discrete data interface solution utilizing millimeter wave electromagnetic waves to transfer data between a rotor and a stator. The proposed solution offers not only high speed data transmission, ultralow latency, negligible bit error rate, strong interference attenuation, and maintenance free operation but it can also withstand higher misalignments and permits transmission over larger distances to enable a wi 00006000 de range of slip ring assemblies to meet the ever increasing needs of modern industrial applications.
