AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing endoscopic systems, the transmission speed is limited and the diameter of the insertion tip is difficult to reduce, which hinders further refinement design.

Method used

Image signals are transmitted using millimeter waves or submillimeter waves and propagated within the insertion section via a flexible waveguide, avoiding direct connection between the front-end unit and the waveguide. The flexible waveguide is used to propagate millimeter waves or submillimeter waves within the insertion section.

Benefits of technology

It overcomes the transmission speed limit and achieves a smaller diameter at the front end of the insertion part, while maintaining insertion convenience and flexibility.
