Claim Text:
1. A slip ring assembly, comprising: a pair of conductive rings consecutively positioned along a center shaft of the slip ring assembly, a first conductive ring of the pair being electronically coupled to a high frequency signal source via a first wire of a first twisted wire pair and a second conductive ring of the pair being electronically coupled to the high frequency signal source via a second wire of the first twisted wire pair, wherein the first twisted wire pair has a constant target impedance; and a second twisted wire pair including a first wire electronically coupling a contact member in contact with the first conductive ring to a data processor and a second wire of the second twisted wire pair electronically coupling another contact member in contact with the second conductive ring to the data processor, wherein the second twisted wire pair has a constant target impedance that is substantially the same as the first twisted wire pair; wherein the first and second conductive rings are axially spaced at an axial distance that is sized so as to maintain the constant target impedance across the first and second conductive rings during transmission of a high frequency signal from the high frequency signal source to the data processor.
