description A rotary joint includes a contactless electrical connection that has an annular shape, not extending into a central region surrounded and defined by the annular contactless electrical connection. The annular shape of the electrical connection portions allows other uses for the central region, such as for passing an optical signal through the rotary joint. Feeds are coupled to annular waveguide structures in both halves of the rotary joint, for input and output of signals. The feeds may provide connections to the annular waveguide structures at regularly-spaced circumferential intervals around the waveguide structures, such as at about every half-wavelength of the incoming (and outgoing) signals. The annular waveguide structures propagate signals in an axial direction, parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotary joint. The signals propagate contactlessly (non-electrically-conductively) across a gap in the axial direction between the two annular waveguides.
