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.
