Calibration kits
Coaxial measurements
Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens, shorts and loads, which are measured by
the network analyzer for increased measurement accuracy.
Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.
Economy, includes:
•
Open standards (male and female)
•
Short standards (male and female)
•
Fixed-termination standards (male and female)
Standard, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
•
Sliding load standards (male and female) or a series of offset shorts
Precision, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
•
50 Ω airline(s) for TRL calibration
•
TRL adapters
Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical calibration standards with one solid-state calibration
module that is controlled by the network analyzer via USB, to present many different impedances to the
test ports. A full two-port calibration can be performed quickly with a single connection. This technique
reduces operator errors and connector wear and abrasion.
For more information about ECal modules, refer to the technical overview 5963-3743E (N4690, 85090,
N4430 and N7550 Series).
