Traditional mechanical calibration methods require the operator to connect and disconnect the instrument to be measured several times using different calibration devices. This not only increases the calibration time but also the frequency of operation and the probability of human error. The SEM5000A series electronic calibration modules do the calibration in one step and provide great convenience for multiport and manufacturing tests. This significantly reduces the number of connections made during the calibration process wich makes the process much simpler and more efficient. As the number of connections decreases, the probability of operator error and the probability of connector wear and tear are reduced, which in turn reduces maintenance and instrumentation costs.
First, the ECal module is connected to the vector network analyzer with the provided USB cable so the analyzer can power up and control the module. The analyzer will automatically identify the calibration module, frequency range, and connector type. Connect the RF cabling to the device ports using the included torque wrench to insure accuracy and protect your investment.
The ECal modules are designed for the calibration and error correction of spectrum analysers and VNA of the following Siglent series:
The SEM5000A series is simple, fast, efficient, accurate and widely applicable. The modules have SMA or 3.5 mm connectors and custom configurations are also possible.
