Radio Frequency Joints for Radar Applications

Radio frequency rotary joints play key roles in all radar systems in which signals are transmitted between a static platform and a constantly rotating antenna.

Penlink supply RF components for every application area of rotating radar applications. We offer custom-designed solutions for our clients. For new solutions, any combination of the various transmission methods is possible; Slip rings for transmitting high power or data can be implemented, and we can integrate optical rotary joints or ensure contact-free transmission of fast Ethernet and RF signals. In every new development project, the focus of our work is always on maximum reliability, a long service life and virtually maintenance-free operation of the rotary joints.

Our rotary joints are flexible to use, extremely reliable and a secure investment for the future. These features and the long-standing experience of our developers and technicians have allowed us to become leaders in our segment.
