Waveguide Calibration Kits



Microwave Techniques manufactures a full line of waveguide calibration kits to accurately calibrate Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) systems. These calibration kits utilize three impedance standards, with one transmission standard. This assists to fully impact a two-port calibration. Precision calibration kits are fully compatible with all VNA systems.

SSL Style
Microwave Techniques also provides a precision waveguide sliding load. This provides optimum performance over the complete waveguide band. Since waveguide flanges mate together, a special through connection is not required. This results in the Short Short Load (SSL) Style Waveguide Calibration Kit.

TRL Style
Another calibration kit Microwave Techniques offers is the Thru Reflect Line (TRL) two port calibration kit. This kit utilizes 3 standards to define the calibrated reference plane. Precision waveguide to coaxial transitions are used in conjunction with a “flush” short circuit plate, as well as a precision λ/4 waveguide section. This design provides a balanced phase response over the waveguide operating frequency range.
