Calibration kits
Calibration is an accuracy enhancement procedure that effectively reduces the system errors that cause uncertainty in network
measurement. Calibration kit is necessary to perform the calibration.
– Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens, shorts and loads, which are measured by the network analyzer.
Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.
– Electronic calibration (ECal) modules replace mechanical calibration standards with one solid-state calibration module that is
controlled by the network analyzer via USB. ECal modules provide many different impedances to the test ports which enables a
full two-port calibration to be performed quickly with a single connection. This technique reduces operator errors and connector
wear and abrasion.
