Patent ID: 8295431

Claim:
Computer tomograph, comprising a rotating part, a stationary part, and a rotary joint with a transmission line arrangement and a receiving coupler arrangement for transmission of electrical signals between the rotating part and the stationary part; with the computer tomograph further comprising: at least one data source; at least one digital encoder for converting signals from the data source to duobinary encoded signals; at least one filter for matching the encoded signals to transmission characteristics of the rotary joint, so that a transmission function of the rotary joint together with the at least one filter represents a band-pass filter needed for duobinary encoding; at least one driver which matches signals from the at least one filter to electrical characteristics of the transmission line arrangement and feeds these signals into the transmission line arrangement; at least one amplifier for amplifying signals from the receiving coupler arrangement; at least one data sink; and at least one receiver which decodes signals from the at least one amplifier and conditions these signals for relay to the at least one data sink.
