Pasternack Waveguide Phase Shifters
The family of waveguide shifters is comprised of seven models that operate in the frequency range of 18 GHz to 110 GHz and in 7 waveguide bands from K to W band. They provide phase shift range from 0 to 180 degrees and 1 dB maximum insertion loss. These waveguide phase shifters are constructed of gold-plated brass waveguide material and feature UG flange-style, per military standard. The micrometer allows for precision and repeatable phase settings.

RS Components Arrow Development Boards
The SE LION SoM board is based on an Arduino form-factor board that features a Microchip LoRa module, which enables low-data-rate communications to be made over long distances. Features of the board include: the low-power Microchip ARM Cortex-M0+ powered CPU along with Microchip Crypto-Authentication; an 868MHz antenna; a Telit GPS module with embedded antenna; and MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope sensors which provide extra functionality for tracking and monitoring performance.
The SE ARIS IoT board is a complete hardware/software platform built around the high-performance Renesas Synergy S7 Series microcontroller, which features an ARM Cortex-M4 processor running at 240MHz with 4MB of code flash and 640kB SRAM memory. The ARIS board is an all-purpose tool with an Arduino R3 compatible footprint and connections, as well as Arduino extension shields that can be used for implementing extra functionality hardware features.

Toshiba ESD Protection Diodes
The devices simultaneously deliver low capacitance, low dynamic resistance and high ESD endurance. Minimum signal distortion of high-speed data signals is ensured by the low capacitance of 0.2pF, while a typical dynamic resistance of RDYN=0.5Ω provides low clamping voltages. High ESD protection levels are supported by electrostatic discharge voltages of at least ±20 kV, according to IEC61000-4-2.
This lineup of ESD protection diodes is available in three different package sizes to meet mounting space requirements. The small SOD-962 package is suitable for multi-port applications that are expected to grow, such as USB Type-C; the flow-through DFN10 (2.5×1.0mm) package can reduce the inductance of wires; and the SOD-882 (1.0×1.6mm) package can contribute to slimmer, smaller devices.
Detailed schematics are available on Toshiba’s website.
