VNA CalKit Manager

A free RF tool on the Chrome Web Store (and on-line as well)





Presentation


VNA calibration can be an issue for beginner in RF instrumentation. Checking the calibration by re-measuring standards implies to calculate the theoretical value to expect.

This app offers a good opportunity to understand what polynomial CalKit models are. Furthermore, it offers the possibility to manage SOLT CalKits for Vectorial Network Analyzers (VNAs) on use in your lab. Your CalKit list can be saved as a HTML local storage and downloaded as a CSV table.

Technical explanations on CalKit models are detailed in an excellent application note by Keysight (formerly Agilent): Specifying Calibration Standards and Kits for Agilent Vector Network Analyzers (Agilent Application Note 1287-11) [LINK].
