Focus Microwaves - TRL Calibration Kits 0.3-110 GHz
Calibrating tuners for Network Analyzers presents challenges due to high reflections and low losses, affecting S-parameter measurements. At Focus Microwaves, we advocate for TRL (Thru-Reflect-Line) calibration as essential for precise results, unlike the less reliable SOLT and ECal methods. Our comprehensive TRL calibration kits cover 0.3 to 110 GHz and support connector types including 7/16, N, APC-7, 3.5mm, 2.9mm, 2.4mm, 1.9mm, WR-15, and WR-10. Compatible with all commercial network analyzers, these kits ensure reliability and accuracy, crucial for dependable VNA measurements.

Unlock precise nonlinear transistor behavior representation with our Cardiff Model portfolio. Improve accuracy across a wide impedance space effortlessly.
The Low Frequency Tuner (LFT) is a unique product technology using M algorithms for low frequency wideband tuning. Three or more cascaded tuning sections use series transmission cables and parallel rotary capacitors. The length of the cables and number of tuning sections are optimized for maximum tuning range over a given bandwidth. HLFT tuners use 6 tuning sections allowing second harmonic frequency tuning.
- 3 Measurement States; Quiescent (OFF-State), Non Quiescent (ON-State), and Pre-State
- The Pre State is a short high voltage state used to activate the traps in the semiconductor.
- Adjustable delay (Δt) between the Pre state and Non Quiescent state down to 0s.
- Independently adjustable timing settings for the Three-state gate pulser and drain pulser
- Easy Integration into existing mainframes
Discover Focus Microwaves' versatile MMT series of manual tuners, offering octave and multi-octave bands from 400MHz to 18GHz. With the same RF technology and precision as our automatic tuners, they ensure high VSWR at the DUT reference plane for reliable performance. Enhance harmonic tuning with options -H2 and -H23, inspired by our harmonic rejection tuners (PHT). Experience precision in manual tuning with Focus Microwaves.
