The Importance of VNA Calibration
Imperfections exist in even the finest test equipment. If uncorrected these systematic imperfections cause the equipment to yield less accurate measurements. The basis of network analyzer error correction is referred to as “calibration” of which multiple methods exist.
Kit Description
8580-Series (75 ohm)
Maury BNC calibration kits are designed for making error-corrected measurements on a wide range of vector network analyzers using precision 75ohm BNC connectors from DC to 12.0 GHz. Each kit includes a full complement of calibration standards and is available with optional in-series adapters. 8580-Series cal kits are available in SOLT Fixed Load format.
