Device for carrying out the non-contact rotational transmission of high-frequency signals
First Claim
1. Array for wide-band electric signal transmission between at least two components disposed for movement relative to each other, said at least two components having coupling surfaces providing a sliding contact bearing and being maintained at a substantially constant distance from each other via the movement, wherein the space between said coupling surfaces is substantially filled with a dielectric material, being substantially gas, wherein said components are provided with coupling surfaces that are an air bearing maintained at a very small distance by the gas.

Abstract
An array transmits a wide-band electric signal between at least two components disposed for rotation relative to each other. The components are provided with coupling surfaces that are maintained at a largely constant distance from each other via the rotary movement. The space between the coupling surfaces is predominantly filled with a dielectric material.
