Designed and manufactured by Link Microtek, the compact AMCORJD rotary joint is ideal for use in small-footprint stabilised VSAT antennas, which are commonly installed on board maritime vessels, in vehicles and in ground-based systems to allow access to broadband communication services.
Providing one DC-18GHz transmit channel featuring a maximum VSWR of 1.8:1, the new broadband rotary joint has a power handling capability of 200W CW across the full frequency band, together with a second DC-4GHz channel for receive signals. Maximum insertion loss is 1.5dB for channel one and 0.2dB for channel two. Isolation between the channels is specified as 50dB.
The AMCORJD features a body diameter of 32mm and an overall length of just 38mm excluding the SMA female connectors, making it particularly suited to space-critical applications.
Fabricated in aluminium with an Iridite finish, the rotary joint incorporates a 51mm-diameter bulkhead flange as standard and can also be supplied with an integral slip-ring assembly if required.
