Waveguide Calibration and Verification Kits

Waveguide calibration kits provide standards used to establish a VNA measurement reference plane; verification devices check the corrected setup against independently characterized behavior. Dolph’s documents list adapters, shorts, offset sections and loads, with verification attenuators listed separately. Choose the guide band, flange, calibration method and analyzer definitions together, and confirm the exact ordered contents.

What each kit contains

Calibration kit

The calibration list includes waveguide-to-coaxial adapters, a matched termination, short plates and sections labelled 1/4λ, 1/8λ and 3/8λ, plus a case and screws. Confirm the definition frequency, physical lengths and electrical models for those labels. Catalogue and manual quantity lists remain separate pending the agreed bill of materials.

Verification kit

The verification set is listed separately and includes 20 dB and 50 dB attenuators, straight sections and a reflective load. Use independently characterized reference data and uncertainty to judge verification results; remeasuring calibration standards alone does not independently establish measurement accuracy. [1]

Frequency and method

The overview lists 1–110 GHz, while individual model rows collectively span 0.7–112.0 GHz. Select one compatible guide band and analyzer setup; these figures do not mean a single kit covers that entire interval. The legacy Anritsu 37369A example describes a procedure, not universal compatibility with every current analyzer.

Supplied data

Request the standard definitions in a format supported by the selected analyzer, along with reference-plane locations, characterization data and required uncertainty documentation. Dimensional tolerances and physical models affect calibrated S-parameter uncertainty; kit completeness alone does not establish it. [2]
