New SOLT calibration kits offer four additional interconnect options

Fairview Microwave has released a new series of short-open-load-through (SOLT) calibration kits intended for use in lab, test and measurement, as well as RF and Microwave production test applications.

The expansion of its VNA calibration kit line comprises 12 models which include short circuit, open circuit and load kits (SOL), together with short circuit, open circuit, load and thru kits (SOLT). Interface options incorporate 2.4mm, 2.92mm, 3.5mm, 7/16 DIN, 7mm, N-Type and BNC.

Each model in this new line includes the essential short circuit, open circuit, loads and thru (model dependent) components needed for VNA calibration. These RF test and measurement kits come in protective wooden boxes. They are ideal for a mixture of vector network analysers from providers such as Rohde & Schwarz, Agilent, Copper Mountain and Anritsu.

“The precise characterisation of RF and microwave components requires a properly calibrated VNA. These new SOLT calibration kits deliver the precision components necessary to perform accurate analyser calibrations,” said Steve Ellis, interconnect product line manager.

The kits are specially created for the calibration and fine-tuning of sensitive test equipment in production environments, engineering labs and quality testing facilities. These kits are built to provide accurate RF equipment calibration for the life of the product and withstand years of rigorous use.
