VNA Calibration Kits
  • Broad VNA Coverage
  • Accurate VNA Calibration
  • 0.045 to 110 GHz
  • All Popular Coaxial Connectors
  • Cost/Performance Range

General
When properly calibrated against known standards, Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), provide the most accurate means of determining the one- and two-port network characterisitics of RF and microwave devices. Calibration effectiveness (a VNA's ability to reduce error terms to negligible values) critically and ultimately depends on the quality and integrity of the calibration standards used.

To help maximize calibration effectiveness, Maury produces a comprehensive line of coaxial and waveguide VNA calibration kits which incoporate accurate, stable, and precise calibration standards for a broad range of VNA models. When properly used, these kits ensure a true evaluation of VNA performance.

Maury kits offer a range of performance and cost options which provide users with choices that are both techanically and economically suitable for a variety of intended application. 

 

Coaxial VNA Calibration Kits
Coaxial kits are available for testing VNAs fitted with any of the modern, popular connectors including:

  • 1.85mm
  • 2.4mm
  • 2.92mm (K)
  • 3.5mm (also used for SMA testing)
  • 7mm
  • Type N (50 ohm and 75 ohm)
  • TNC (including AFTNC)
  • BNC (50 ohm and 75 ohm)
  • OSP™
  • 7-16
  • 14mm (formerly GR900)

In addition, Maury produces kits for OSP™1, C, SC, HN and EIA connectors (7/8 and 1-5/8). 

1 "OSP™" is the M/A-Com Omni-Spectra designation. See Maury Data Sheet 5E-065 for interface details.
 

Waveguide VNA Calibration Kits
Waveguide kits are available in all common, standard rectangular sizes from WR430 (1.7 to 2.6 GHz) through WR10 (75 to 110 GHz). Maury has also produced kits in less common rectangular size such as WR102 (7 to 11 GHz) and in half-height waveguide.

Methodology
Most coaxial kits are designed for the open-short-load-thru (OSLT) calibration technique using sliding loads, although some low frequency and economy kits utilize fixed loads. Maury waveguide kits are primarily designed for the short-short-load-thru (SSLT) calibration method using 1/8 and 3/8 wavelength offset shorts and sliding loads. Some economy kits are available with fixed shorts and 1/4 wavelength shims. A series of thru-reflect-line (TRL) kits are also available. Since each TRL kit contains a fixed load, they can also be used for an offset load calibration where this method is supported by the VNA.
