Abstract: A coaxial rotary coupler assembly which includes a coaxial transmission region for transmitting RF energy between a stationary and rotating section of the rotary coupler. Compact stubs are associated with the input and output connections to associated input and output transmission lines. Stepped impedance chokes are formed between fixed and rotating portions of the outer and inner coaxial conductors of the rotary transmission line sections.
