to calibrate a channel.
Calibration kits can be obtained as network analyzer accessories; refer to the data sheet for the relevant
ordering information. The name of all parameter sets is equal to the name of the corresponding calibration
kit model.
Ideal parameters
All ideal kits contain the following standards:
Standard (Gender)
R (Load)
Electrical Length (Offset)
Open (f, m)
Ω
0 mm (Delay: 0 s)
Short (f, m)
0 Ω
0 mm
Offset Short (f, m)
0 Ω
10 mm
Match (f, m)
Z
0
(reference impedance of the connector type)
0 mm
Sliding Match (f, m)
–
0 mm
Reflect (f, m)
Ω
0 mm
Through (ff, mm, mf)
–
0 mm
Line (ff, mm, mf)
–
10 mm
Attenuation (ff, mm , mf)
–
0 mm
Symm. Network (ff, mm, mf)
–
0 mm
The following additional parameters are used:
 Characteristic impedance: Z
0
(reference impedance of the connector type)
 Loss: 0 dB / sqrt(GHz) or (0 GΩ / s) in Agilent mode
 All inductance and capacitance parameters are set to zero.
Cal Kit Files
Calibration kit files can be used to store the parameters of a particular calibration kit, to re-load the data
and to exchange calibration kits from one network analyzer to another.
Cal kit file contents
Cal kit files are independent of the current setup and contain the following information:
 Name and label of the calibration kit
 Connector type including all connector type parameters (name, polarity, offset model, reference
impedance)
 Type, gender and label of all standards in the kit together with the circuit model parameters
(offsets, load) or S-parameter tables (.snp file) that are necessary to determine its magnitude and
phase response.
By default cal kit files are stored in the C:\Program Files\Rohde&Schwarz\Network
Analyzer\Calibration\Kits directory.
 To export cal kit data, the analyzer uses a specific binary file format *.calkit.
 Three different import file formats are supported: ZVA-specific binary cal kit files (*.calkit), ZVR-
specific binary cal kit files (*.ck), cal kit files in Agilent-specific ASCII formats (*.csv, *.prn; see
