Link Microtek has a new range of coaxial rotary joints, which are primarily designed for antenna-positioning applications on ’suitcase’ satellite communications terminals. Known as the AMCORJ series, these in-house manufactured products cover the Ku-band frequency range of 13.75 to 14.5GHz and can be specified with a choice of connectors, including SMA and N-type. The devices are of a noncontacting design, which offers the inherent advantages of long life and low loss (less than 0.3dB), as well as a power-handling capability of up to 50W.

Manufactured from aluminium, the rotary joints weigh in at just 60g, measure only 56mm in length, and offer IP65 protection against the ingress of dust and water.

In addition to the standard Ku-band components, Link Microtek can also produce custom designs to satisfy individual requirements for frequency band, flange style and connectors.
