The Importance of VNA Calibration 

Any uncalibrated test setup has systematic errors inherent in the 

equipment used. The ability to obtain an accurate measurement 

of a device under test (DUT) depends on how well these errors 

are corrected. The basis of network analyzer error correction is 

the measurement of known electrical standards, such as a thru, 

open circuit, short circuit, and precision load impedance. By 

calibrating your network analyzer with these standards, you can 

compensate for the inherent imperfections. 

Maury 2.92mm VNA Calibration Kits 

Maury Microwave’s precision 2.92mm calibration kits are designed 

for use with a broad range of vector network analyzers (VNAs). 

With the components in these kits you can make error-corrected 

measurements of devices supplied with 2.92mm connectors from 

DC to 40 GHz. Each kit is supplied with a set of calibration standards; 

shorts, opens, sliding and fixed loads (as listed on page 3) 

and can be ordered with any combination of VNA test set cable 

connectors. 

Connector Description 

The precision 2.92mm connectors on the components in this kit 

are miniature, instrument grade, air-interface connectors that 

operate mode free up to 40 GHz, and comply with the IEEE

These kits are configured for use in performing one-port SOL 

(Short-Open-Load) response calibrations (a method used for 

measuring VSWR/ Return Loss), and full two-port SOLT 

(Short-Open-Load-Thru) calibration (for performing forward 

and reverse transmission and reflections measurement). The 

Maury TRL/LRL calibration kits are tri-kits containing the 

compnents needed to perform three types of calibrations: 

TRM/TRL/LRL, SOLT, and short-open-(air line + load). 

Source match can also be measured using the 15cm air line 

and provided short circuit.

Kit Description 

Maury 2.92mm calibration kits are designed for making errorcorrected 

measurements (on a wide range of vector network 

analyzers) on 2.92mm devices from DC to 40 GHz. Each kit 

includes a full complement of calibration standards (as listed at 

right) and can be configured for any combination of VNA or test 

set/cable connectors. User-specified VNA software and a set of 

adapters are available for each kit. These components are 

housed in an attractive, foam-lined, wood instrument case.

Ordering Options 

To specify the test port adapter and VNA software options you need, simply add two digits to the end 

of the kit model number (as show in the diagram at right). The first digit is the test port adapter option 

number, and the second is the VNA software option number (as found in the Option Finder below). 

The example in the diagram shows the combination of digits needed to order a 8770C kit configured 

with the adapters and software for use with an Agilent PNA that has 3.5mm or 2.92mm test ports.
