Signal transfer system for a rotatable magnetic system

Abstract

A signal transfer system (1) for providing communicative coupling with a rotatable magnetic system (2), if present, of a magnetron structure for carrying a cylindrically shaped target tube (5), separated from a power transfer system for providing power to the cylindrically shaped target tube, the signal transfer system (1) comprising a first interface (10) arranged for interacting with a rotatable second interface (3), if present, of the magnetron structure for transferring system signals between the first (10) and second interface (3), configured for retaining said interaction when the second interface (3) rotates about a rotation axis of the rotatable magnetic system (2).
