The Keysight (Agilent) 85093C is a 2-port RF Electronic Calibration (ECal) module operating from 300 kHz to 9 GHz with 3.5 mm connectors. It provides rapid, highly repeatable, and accurate calibration for compatible vector network analyzers (VNAs), reducing operator error and connector wear compared to mechanical calibration kits.
