Abstract :
This paper illustrates the design guidelines and main features of a dual-channel rotary joint, operating in X- and Ka-bands. The core of the proposed solution is the double transducer between X and Ka rectangular waveguides and a nested coaxial waveguide, which shows very good performance in both bands.
