Abstract

Requirements to transmit electrical power and data across rotary joints have existed for many years. Traditionally, such functions were accomlished with electromechanical sliding contact slip rings. As technologies requiring the use of slip ring apparatus progressed,the inherent characteristics of electromechanical slip rings began to impose increasingly severe limitations on system performance.
