VNA CALIBRATION

N-type Calibration Kit KSOLT-63-N+FEATURES• Precision N-type calibration kit up to 6 GHz• Works out of the box with Mini-Circuits’ eVNA-63+• Full set of Short / Open / Load standards (m and f)• Full set of phase-equal Thru standards (f to f, f to m, m to m)• Torque wrench included• Wooden storage case

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Mini-Circuits’ KSOLT-63-N+ is a complete calibration kit intended for VNA measurements of any N-type DUT (device under test).
The kit is supplied in a wooden storage and display case, containing a full set of SOL standards (Short, Open & Load, each withmale and female options), full set of phase-equal Thru standards (female to female, female to male, male to male) and breakover torque wrench.
KSOLT kits are supported by Mini-Circuits eVNA-63+ vector network analyzer right out of the box, with all calibration definitions
pre-loaded within the eVNA Studio software. The kit can also be used as a cost-effective, high performance alternative to calibration kits from a wide range of other VNA suppliers.

KEY FEATURES
FeatureAdvantages

Cost effective kit

Complete kit containing all required standards and torque wrench for performing reliable and repeatable
VNA calibrations

Excellent return loss, 42 dB typPrecision calibration standards with high return loss minimize the measurement errors within a VNA system

Phase-equal / swap-equal Thru standards

Thru standards with different N-type gender combinations but identical phase length can be swapped into
the test setup in place of each other without affecting the integrity of the calibration, providing flexibility formeasurements of non-insertable DUT.
