OSP™1 VNA Calibration Kits
8780 Series • OSP™ Connector • Up to 18 GHz • Precision Coupling • Expanded and Economy Kits Description The Maury 8780 series of calibration kits provide the standards required to accurately calibrate vector network analyzers up to 18 GHz for error-corrected measurements of devices with OSP™ blind-mate connectors. These kits feature a positive coupling system which permits the standards to be mated to the test ports using a calibrated torque wrench. This provides precise repeatability of the calibration interface with each standard and significantly improves accuracy compared to simple, non-captivated, blind-mate interfaces. The series consists of the 8780A and B, which include female and male connectors, sliding loads2 , torque wrenches and computer media3 formatted for specific VNA; and the 8780F and M single-sex kits which do not include sliding loads or computer media. Each kit comes in a wooden instrument case with operating instructions. The Option charts will allow you to configure a calibration kit to best fit your needs and budget.
