ZV-WR03
Calibration Kit R&S ZV-WR03
The waveguide calibration kit R&S ZV-WR03 allows to calibrate network analyzers for test setups
involving frequency converters, in particular R&S ZVA-Z325.
The calibration kit contains the following standards:
 A Short standard which also serves as a Reflect standard
 A (Fixed) Match standard
 Two Shims containing a short transmission line. The length of the line equals 1 mm for Shim #1
and 1.371 mm for Shim #2. Both lines exhibit a λ/4 length difference around the center frequency
of the converters operating range and a 180 deg phase shift of the reflecting coefficient.
 A Sliding Match standard (kit 1307.7100.11 only), providing more accurate results than the Fixed
Match standard – at higher test effort.
The following table provides an overview of the available standards for rectangular waveguide calibration
and the technical implementation using the calibration kit.
Standard Type
Technical implementation
Open
Not available in waveguide technology, replaced by "Offset Short"
Short
Short + Shim #1, both contained in the calibration kit
Offset short
Short + Shim #2, both contained in the calibration kit
Match
Contained in the calibration kit
Sliding match
Contained in the calibration kit 1307.7300.31
Reflect
Short, contained in the calibration kit
Through
Through connection of the two waveguide flanges with Shim #1 in-between
Line1
Through connection of the two waveguide flanges with Shim #2 in-between.
In view of the bandwidth of the frequency converters, line 2 is not needed.
Attenuation
Not contained in the calibration kit
Symm. network
Not contained in the calibration kit
The standards in the calibration kit allow all one-port and two-port calibration types supported by the
network analyzer except TNA.
