Abstract
A computer tomography installation having contactless data signal transmission is provided. The device includes a conductor element that is longitudinally slit coaxial, at least one high-frequency transmitting unit that feeds a high-frequency carrier signal modulated with a data signal to be transmitted into the conductor element, and at least one longitudinally slit coaxial coupling conductor element that is configured to receive the emitted modulated high-frequency carrier signal from the near field of the conductor element. The device also includes a high-frequency receiving unit that is electrically connected to the coupling conductor element and is configured to extract the data signal from the received modulated high-frequency carrier signal. The conductor element and the coupling conductor element are arranged to be movable relative to each other. The conductor element is arranged on a rotatable gantry part, and the coupling conductor element is arranged on a stationary gantry part.
