Abstract

A rotary joint has a body with an even number of body segments. Each body segment holds one transmission line with one RF signal connector at one end and a termination at the opposing end. The body segments are oriented such, that alternatingly in neighboring segments two RF signal connectors or two terminations are next to each other. Two neighboring body segments are connected by a carrier plate. The carrier plate holds an electronic housing where two RF signal connectors are located next to each other, and provides a connection to the RF signal connectors.
