The Agilent/Keysight 85093B is a 2-port Electronic Calibration (ECal) module operating from 300 kHz to 9 GHz with 3.5 mm RF connectors. It is designed to provide fast, highly accurate, and NIST-traceable vector network analyzer calibrations with reduced connector wear. Unlike traditional manual calibration kits, the 85093B performs a full 2-port calibration with a single connection and uses reliable solid-state switching under direct USB control from a PNA series network analyzer or via PC control for legacy systems.
