Abstract: A system and method for communicating signals through a slip ring. It includes a stator and a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator about a rotation axis, the rotor having a first wireless module with a first antenna. The stator has a second wireless module with a second antenna. The first and second antennae are arranged along the rotation axis. The first and second antennae are adapted to communicate with each other by at least partially using polarized signals.

Abstract: A rotary joint is provided. The rotary joint includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator housing, a first wireless communication platform device having a first wireless communication module connected to a plurality of data signal lines of the stator and at least one power line of the stator, and a first antenna. The rotor is configured to be actuated in a rotational manner relative to the stator, and the rotor includes a rotor housing, a second wireless communication platform device comprising a second wireless communication module connected to a plurality of data signal lines of the rotor and at least one power line of the rotor, and a second antenna. The first wireless communication platform device and the second wireless communication platform device are configured to communicate operational data with one another via the first and second antennas.
