Abstract

See full text

A radio frequency rotary coupler with its power dividers/couplers separated among multiple circuit layers that are axially stacked and interconnected using coaxial feeds. This architecture allows for multiple layers of circuits with minimal outside diameter and while minimizing increase in axial length. The coupler includes a stator, rotor, and dynamic capacitive ring. The stator includes at least a first stator circuit layer with a primary stator power divider (SPD), a second stator circuit layer with at least one secondary SPD, and stator coaxial feeds coupling the primary SPD and the secondary SPD(s). The rotor includes a first rotor circuit layer with a primary rotor power divider (RPD), a second rotor circuit layer with at least one secondary RPD, and rotor coaxial feeds coupling the primary RPD and the secondary RPD(s). The dynamic capacitive ring couples the stator and the rotor via the secondary SPD(s) and RPD(s).
