What is an Electronic Phase Shifter?

An Electronic Phase Shifter (PHASE SHIFTER,ELECTRONIC) is an electronic component or a grouping of electronic components that induces a fixed or variable phase shift to an electronic signal from 0 to 360 degrees. The item may be adjusted by means of a slotted shaft, knurled knob or motor driven and may or may not be provided with a locking device.

What is a Band Pass-Band Suppression Filter?

A Band Pass-Band Suppression Filter (FILTER,BAND PASS-BAND SUPPRESSION) is a single item having the dual function of a FILTER, BAND PASS and FILTER, BAND SUPPRESSION. Each filter may have separate input connections, but each filter must have separate output connections.

What is a Band Pass-Low Pass Filter?

A Band Pass-Low Pass Filter (FILTER,BAND PASS-LOW PASS) is a single item having the dual function of a FILTER, BAND PASS and a FILTER, LOW PASS. Each filter may have separate input connections, but each filter must have separate output connections. Excludes a single inductance, capacitance, or resistance. See COIL (as modified); REACTOR; CAPACITOR (as modified); and RESISTOR (as modified).

What is a Direct Current Power Filter?

A Direct Current Power Filter (FILTER,DIRECT CURRENT POWER) is a device consisting of a combination of two or more items such as inductors, capacitors, or resistors in any combination, so designed that when properly placed in an electrical circuit they will smooth out voltage fluctuations of the direct current output of power supplies, dynamotors, generators, and the like. Do not use for items which consist of a single resistor, capacitor, or inductor used to perform the same function.

What is a High Pass-Low Pass Filter?

A High Pass-Low Pass Filter (FILTER,HIGH PASS-LOW PASS) is a single item having the dual function of a FILTER,HIGH PASS and a FILTER,LOW PASS. Each filter may have a separate input connection, but each filter must have separate output connections. Excludes a single inductance, capacitance, or resistor. See FILTER,BAND SUPPRESSION.

What is an Electrical Filter Assembly?

An Electrical Filter Assembly (FILTER ASSEMBLY,ELECTRICAL) is two or more electrical filters on a common mounting or mounted on each other. Does not include coils, capacitors or resistors alone.

What is an Impedance Matching Network?

An Impedance Matching Network (NETWORK,IMPEDANCE MATCHING) is a grouping of two or more different discrete items, such as resistors, coils, and capacitors, electrically connected and used as a unit to couple two or more circuits in such a manner that the impedance of each circuit will be equal to the impedance into which it hooks. For items fabricated by monolithic and/or thin film techniques, see MICROCIRCUIT (as modified). See also ATTENUATOR (as modified); and TRANSFORMER (as modified). Excludes RESISTOR SET, MATCHED.

What is a Phase Changing Network?

NATO Supply Class 5915 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5915 focuses on Filters And Networks. Filters are electronic components that allow certain frequencies to pass through while blocking others. They are used to remove unwanted signals or noise from electronic circuits. Networks, on the other hand, refer to a combination of electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, that are interconnected to perform a specific function in an electronic circuit.

In the context of NATO, this classification is used to categorize and standardize the procurement and supply of filters and networks for military and defense purposes. These components are essential in various military applications, including communication systems, radar systems, electronic warfare systems, and more.

By having a specific supply class for Filters And Networks, NATO ensures that these critical components are properly classified, tracked, and supplied to meet the specific requirements of military operations. This classification system helps streamline the procurement process and ensures interoperability among NATO member countries.
