Maury MW - VNA Calibration Standard - Short Circuit Termination Series
- Calibration-grade metrology standards
- Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation
Fixed flush and fixed offset short circuit terminations (shorts) are used to establish reference planes in transmission systems and as key elements in the calibration of vector network analyzers (VNAs). Offset shorts can be used for banded calibrations of VNA. Those with the longest offset are often used to evaluate the calibration effectiveness of a VNA by measuring the effective source match after calibration.

Precision standard mismatches are fixed coaxial terminations, which are used to introduce a known VSWR into a 50 ohm transmission system. These mismatches are extremely useful in a wide variety of applications and are quick and easy to use. They can be used to calibrate swept reflectometers, verify network analyzer calibration, establish impedance references in TDR measurements.
Not all amplifiers are created equal, so how can you be certain that an amplifier will work for your needs? You deserve to be confident that the amplifiers used with your test-and measurement lab benches will meet the requirements of your specific applications, are reliable, and are equally well-supported pre-and post-sale. When it comes to application expertise, reliability and support, there is no company that does it better than Maury.

A precision fixed termination (or load) consists of an immovable, (fixed) termination which, when mated to the end of a trans-mission line or cable, absorbs nearly all of the signal energy traveling toward it. An ideal “matched” condition exists when a termination with an impedance value of Z0, is connected to the end of a transmission line or cable that also has a characteristic impedance of Z0. Such an ideal “matched” condition (one with no mismatch between the termination and its mated line or cable) is critical if a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.0:1 is to be achieved in a system with a 50 or 75 ohm impedance value. Simply put, the more closely the 1.0:1 ratio is approached, the more accurate the measurements that can be made from a system.
