Calibration Kits
These Calibration Kits do not contain gauges. It is good lab practice to check unknown devices with a
suitable connector gauge for N 75
Ω
before connecting them to any calibration standard of the
mentioned Calibration Kits or a test port of a Vector Network Analyzers (VNA). We recommend to use
Rosenberger Gauge Kit P5GK0KS-010 or comparable ones.
For customer specific Calibration Kits all VNA calibration methods may not be available.
1.1 Calibration Kit Normal Use
Calibration Kits are used as an accessory for VNAs to perform vector-error correction. Vector-error
correction is the process of characterizing systematic errors of the measurement system by
measuring known calibration standards, and then mathematically removing the effects of these
errors from subsequent measurements. The measurement accuracy of the calibrated VNA
depends mainly on the quality of the calibration kit used. Contributing factors are noise, linearity
and temperature stability of the VNA, transmission and reflection stability of a test port cable as
well as operator experience and care.
VNAs usually offer several techniques for correcting systematic measurement errors. The
standards in this calibration kit allow you to perform one-port OSL (OSM) or two-port OSLT
(TOSM) and TRM (TMR) calibrations from DC up to 12 GHz for measurements of components with
RPC-N 75
Ω
connectors.
Components with other N 75
Ω
connectors are mechanically compatible and can also be
measured.
