reportActive / Technical Report | Accesssion Number: AD1214357 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A rotary joint has been developed for the model AN/SPS-3(XDK) shipborne hemispheric search radar. This joint is of the conventional TM01 circular waveguide type with slightly different matching devices for the two different wavelengths used by the system. Particular features are high power-handling capacity (600 kilo-watts), low voltage-standing-wave ratio (less than 1.10) over the operating frequency range, and negligible rotation effect.
