Description
Thesetype N TRL/LRL calibration kits are designed for use with a range of Agilent Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs). The components in the kits are configured for use in making error-corrected TRL/LRL measurements of devices supplied with type N connectors, from DC to 18 GHz. With the components in these kits, users can perform three types of calibrations: 1) TRM, TRL and LRL two-port calibrations from 0 to 18 GHz; 2) SOLT (Short-Open-Load-Thru) one-port or two-port; and 3) Short-Open-(air line + load).1 one-port calibration for gated measurements. Source match can also be measured using the 15cm air line and provided short circuit.
