Judging by the trends in automation and unmanned vehicles in military vehicles, you can see that photoelectric rotary turrets and small-sized airborne radars are being used more and more. Both electro-optical devices and radio-frequency devices like radar systems require a smooth 360-degree rotation to gather information about the world around them. Therefore, a professional slip ring/swivel joint is necessary.
As a slip ring supplier with more than 20 years of experience, JINPAT Electronics is capable and successful in providing customized slip ring solutions for radar systems and electro-optical turret.

Generally speaking, radar slip rings for unmanned equipment are mainly installed on combat vehicles that cope with aerial searches. JINPAT Electronics provides a variety of customized solutions for small-sized unmanned vehicle radar systems. Given the circumstances on the combat vehicle and the relatively focused function, a single-channel RF slip ring is sufficient. For those with higher demands, a high-frequency swivel joint with 2 channels is suitable.

LPC-D35-0405-07S-HF01 is a very representative single-channel RF slip ring designed for unmanned vehicles. This custom slip ring is designed based on the LPHF-01C prototype. It operates at a DC frequency of -6 GHz. This slip ring model is characterized by balancing the voltage standing wave ratio, insertion loss, and phase change. Similar to other RF rotary connections, this custom model uses 75 ohm impedance coaxial cables for high-definition video signals and 50 ohms for RF signals.

JINPAT also has turret turntable slip rings that integrate SDI signals. These slip rings are ultra-light in weight and have a compact design. Due to their mini size, these slip rings are ideal for drones.
In addition to the above solution, you can seek further consultation from JINPAT’s technical team. JINPAT Electronics will spare no effort to offer you the perfect slip ring.
