From the trends in automation and unmanned technique in military equipment, you can see more and more photo-electric rotary turrets and small-size vehicle-borne radars are being used. Both of the electro-optical devices and the radio frequency device like radar systems demand a fluent 360-degree rotation to capture information of the surrounding. Therefore, a professional slip ring/rotary joint is needed.

JINPAT Electronics, as a slip ring supplier with over 20-year experience, is capable and excels in providing custom slip ring solutions for radar systems and electro-optical turret.

Generally speaking, radar slip rings for unmanned equipment are mostly installed on combat vehicles that cope with air search. JINPAT Electronics has many custom solutions for small-size unmanned vehicular radar systems. Given the circumstances on a combat vehicle and the relatively focused function, single channel radio frequency slip ring is sufficient. For those with higher demands, high frequency rotary joint with 2 channels will work.

LPC-D35-0405-07S-HF01 is a very representative single channel radio frequency slip ring designed for the unmanned vehicles. This custom slip ring is developed from the prototype LPHF-01C. It operates at the frequency of DC-6GHz. This slip ring model stands out in balancing voltage standing wave ratio, insertion loss and phase change. Similar to other high frequency rotary joint, this custom model adopts coaxial cables with an impedance of 75Ω for high definition video signals while those with 50Ω for radio frequency signals.

JINPAT also has turret rotary platform slip rings that integrates SDI signals. These slip rings feature super light weight and compact figure. Thanks to their mini-size, these slip rings are perfectly fit for unmanned air vehicles.

Aside from the solution above, you can consult JINPAT technical team for more advice. JINPAT Electronics will spare no effort in bringing you the perfect slip ring.
