content: They seem to have extremely high-end instruments, like 325Ghz VNAs, 67Ghz SigGens, 50 Ghz SAs according to their website (http://www.salukitec.com) however it sounds a bit too good to me... I've never heard about them before.

content: Would be interesting to see who makes the extenders. I think none of the big companies make their own VNA extenders. Keysight uses VDI extenders (and usually have a deal that the highest frequency extender is only available through keysight - VDI used to only list extenders up to WR1.0 (1.1 THz) on their website, while Keysight offered a 1.5 THz extender too). Rohde & Schwarz I believe has their extenders made by RPG (which is now part of the R&S group, don't know when that happened). Don't know if Anritsu makes them in-house? But to be honest I've never actually seen a Anritsu VNA in the wild so who knows.Waveguide stuff is lego, but getting good performance requires lots of understanding about the lego parts. In addition, you really need your own custom modules if you want top-notch performance (either in-house or designed by third parties, both are done by Keysight and R&S).And in the end, most of what we pay for a VNA is not in the hardware but software and stability etc. Making a VNA is not really all that hard. Making a VNA that can be accurate enough and very stable is the hard part, and putting the work into a good UI is why we spend as much as we do on them.

content: The reason that I'm interested in them is because they are selling VNA calibration kits with a reasonable price on Ebay.It's not cheap but reasonable.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Saluki-High-Precision-Calibration-Kit-3-5mm-26-5GHz-VNA-Vector-Network-Analyzer/303140759888I wonder where do they get them.

content: I can't find the model parameters for the one you mentioned in its datasheet and they don't seem to provide the parameters on an external drive either.

content: Yeah, in the meantime I found the parameters in the datasheet as well. Sorry. I'm not sure how could I have missed it.
