Abstract
A transition system for a waveguide assembly may include first and second track transition elements engaged with the waveguide assembly, and positioned on either side of a track gap between first and second track segments of the waveguide assembly. Trolley slide plates may be fixed to a mobile trolley of the waveguide assembly. As the trolley is moved onto and across the first track transition element, it receives and guide the trolley slide plates from the first track segment as the slide plates are moved across a transition gap to the second track transition element. The second track transition element may receive the trolley slide plates from the first track transition element, and align the trolley slide plates with the second track segment of the waveguide assembly to transfer the trolley to the second track segment and align the trolley antenna with the antenna slot of the second track segment.
