Rotatable antenna system with wireless rotatable interconnect

A rotatable antenna comprising:

• a wireless rotatable interconnect comprising:
• a stator coil pad coupled to a power supply port for receiving power and to a data port for communication of data, wherein the stator coil pad comprises a planar stator coil surface;
• and
• a rotor coil pad that is in bi-directional communication with the stator coil pad, wherein the rotor coil pad comprises a planar rotor coil surface;
• wherein the rotor coil pad superposes the stator coil pad and the planar rotor coil surface is spaced apart from the planar stator coil surface, wherein the planar rotor coil surface is parallel with the planar stator coil surface;
• and wherein the rotor coil pad is rotatable about an axis in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction on a plane perpendicular to the axis, wherein the axis is fixed relative to the wireless rotatable interconnect;
• a radiating element coupled to the rotor coil pad, wherein changes in a rotation of the rotor coil pad about the axis change a pointing direction of the radiating element;
• wherein a plurality of wireless channels are established between the stator coil pad and the rotor coil pad and a first channel of the plurality of wireless channels transfers power from the stator coil pad to the rotor coil pad and a second channel of the plurality of wireless channels transfers data between the stator coil pad and the rotor coil pad;
• a data encoder coupled to the rotor coil pad that modulates at least a portion of the data transmitted through the second channel of the plurality of wireless channels onto a radio frequency (RF) signal, and provides the RF signal to the radiating element;
• and
• a mechanical hold down to limit the rotation of the rotor coil pad to a plane that intersects the axis at a right angle and wherein the plane is parallel with both the planar rotor coil surface and the planar stator coil surface.
