Patent ID: 6862299

Claim:
A data transmission system comprising: a stationary part; a rotary part rotatable relative to said stationary part; a source of gigabit/sec data at said rotary part, said data being subject to jitter; a slip ring system for transmitting said data from said rotary part to said stationary part slip ring system having a rotary slip ring module at said rotary part and a stationary slip ring module at said stationary part; a first gigabit/sec data link proceeding from said source at said rotary part; a first clock regenerator connected to said first data link at said rotary slip ring module; a receiver for said gigabit/sec at said stationary part; a second gigabit/sec data link proceeding to said receiver at said stationary part; and a second clock regenerator connected to said second data link at said stationary slip ring module, said first and second clock regenerators synchronizing said gigabit/sec data, proceeding from said first data link and proceeding to said second data link, to a stable reference clock to prevent said jitter from proceeding from said source to said receiver.
