Technical Field

Background

The waveguide rotary joint is a special waveguide structure, and a mechanical structure of the waveguide rotary joint supports axial or radial rotation and can ensure that electromagnetic wave energy in the waveguide rotary joint has good transmission characteristics under various rotation angles. In mechanical scanning systems, the antenna often needs to be rotated through multiple angles in space. There must be relative rotational movement between the antenna and the fixed feed network. The waveguide rotary joint can support these rotary actions and propagate microwave energy from the feed transmission line to the rotating antenna feed.

With the rapid development of modern communication and radar systems, the conventional single-channel waveguide rotary joint is difficult to meet the requirements of a radar communication system on full-duplex communication, and in order to meet the full-duplex transceiving function of high-power and high-isolation microwave signals, a set of complex waveguide feed network is often required to be designed and a plurality of single-channel waveguide rotary joints are used to ensure that the full-duplex communication system can normally work at each scanning angle. Therefore, the mechanical scanning system has the defects of high design and processing cost and high production and assembly difficulty. For a terahertz frequency band radar communication system, a large amount of space can be obviously occupied by a plurality of single-channel waveguide rotary joints, and the system miniaturization layout is obviously hindered.

In order to overcome the defects of the conventional single-channel waveguide rotary joint, the liumin discloses a two-path waveguide one-path coaxial rotary joint (liumin, a two-path waveguide one-path coaxial rotary joint, chinese patent application No. cn202110154238.x, application No. 2021.02.04). the multi-channel waveguide rotary joint is realized by adding graphite rings into coaxial waveguides to form a multi-layer cavity structure, but only can support radial rotation, and the coaxial structure limits the power capacity thereof, so that the full-duplex transmission of high-power microwave signals cannot be met.
