company news about Electro-optical composite slip rings break through communication bottlenecks in complex environments

Traditional electric slip rings hit a technological ceiling.

Amidst the wave of military radar upgrades, signal attenuation caused by mechanical wear and bandwidth bottlenecks exceeding 100Mb/s have made electric slip rings unable to support the stringent requirements for real-time, high-definition image transmission and electromagnetic interference resistance in complex environments. Data from a research institute shows that data traffic for new-generation phased array radars has surged by 300%, while the failure rate of traditional solutions has climbed to 15%.

Although fiber optic rotary joints achieve transmission rates exceeding 40Gbps and zero EMI sensitivity, they struggle to accommodate the kilovolt-level power transmission and low-frequency control signals of radar systems. Engineers have continuously researched and developed a new generation of dual-channel electro-optical composite slip rings. Using innovative wavelength division multiplexing technology, they simultaneously transmit optical signals and power carriers within a single optical fiber channel.

Radars equipped with composite slip rings achieve two breakthroughs:

• Long-range target recognition latency reduced to 5ms (an 8-fold improvement).
• 99.98% efficiency in simultaneous power/optical signal transmission.
