Over time, connector wear, cable movement, temperature changes, and instrument drift all degrade the accuracy of RF measurements. Regular calibration of VNAs and other RF instruments is therefore critical for reliable S-parameters, gain, and impedance results. A practical calibration solution must be easy to use, stable over many cycles, and compatible with a wide range of instruments and test setups.

WithWave provides a comprehensive calibration portfolio, including Automatic Calibration Modules (ACM) and Calibration Kits. Automatic calibration modules greatly simplify daily VNA calibration by performing multi-port, complete 1-port/2-port calibrations with minimal user interaction, significantly reducing setup time and operator error. Traditional calibration kits with precisely characterized standards (open, short, load, thru, etc.) allow flexible, standards-based calibration procedures and are ideal for custom or field setups.
