VectorStar™ MS4640A Series Microwave Vector Network Analyzers : Calibration Overview : Calibration Kits, Verification Kits, and Components
 
Calibration Kits, Verification Kits, and Components
Anritsu and other vendors provide calibration kits for a variety of algorithms and circumstances. In all cases, certain information must be provided to the VNA in order to complete the calibration, but the nature of that information varies by kit and application.
Calibration kits contain the precision components and tools required to calibrate the VectorStar MS4640A Series VNA for up to a complete 12-term error-corrected measurement. The calibration kits are available as automatic calibrator units or as manual calibration kits. A set of verification kits is also available to verify the accuracy of the calibration kits and the instrument settings.
