Abstract:
1. A rotating data transmission device for computer tomographs, for transmission from a rotating part that includes a transmitter for generating electrical signals to a stationary part that is rotatably supported relative to the rotating part and includes a receiver for receiving electrical signals, comprising: a first dielectric waveguide assigned to the rotating part for carrying electrical signals; a first line coupler for coupling electrical signals from the transmitter into the first dielectric waveguide; at least one coupler assigned to the stationary part for tapping electrical signals from the first dielectric waveguide and relaying the tapped electrical signals to the receiver; wherein the first dielectric waveguide is divided into at least two segments of approximately the same length; wherein signals coupled into the segments of the first dielectric waveguide through the first line coupler propagate in opposite directions; and wherein ends of the segments distant from the first line coupler are provided with terminations.
