Waveguide Calibration Kit for VNA – Full Band, 18–325 GHz

A waveguide calibration kit is the set of precision standards used to calibrate a vector network analyzer (VNA) before measuring in rectangular waveguide. Mi-Wave’s 780 Series waveguide calibration kits cover 18 to 325 GHz and work with millimeter-wave test heads and modules from Keysight, Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz. Precision fixed shorts deliver return loss above 40 dB. [Calibration method: SSST or SOLT — confirm with engineering.] These kits provide the Triple Offset Short (SSST) calibration method utilizing offset shorts and fixed precision termination, and are compatible with all major VNA brands including Keysight, Anritsu, and Rohde & Schwarz.

The precision fixed shorts have been selected to provide a high level of return loss >40 dB and fixed short circuits are optimized to 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 wavelengths with tight tolerances. These kits are provided with one rugged straight waveguide, 1/8. 1/4, 3/8, and reference short circuits precision fixed to load in a foam-lined wooden case.

Mi-Wave Waveguide Calibration Kit Series

Mi-Wave waveguide calibration kits provide full Short-Open-Load-Thru (SOLT) calibration standards for VNA measurement across 18 GHz to 325 GHz. Each kit is precision-machined to tight tolerances and covers a specific waveguide band, ensuring accurate de-embedding of connector and adapter effects during millimeter wave measurements. Compatible with all major VNA brands including Keysight, Anritsu, and Rohde & Schwarz.

Full-Band Coverage: 18 GHz – 325 GHz

Mi-Wave 780 Series waveguide calibration kits cover 13 frequency bands from K-Band (18–26.5 GHz) through H-Band (170–260 GHz), with each kit matched to its corresponding waveguide size and flange standard — from WR-42 (UG-595/U) at K-Band through WR-5 (UG-387/U-M) at G and H-Band. Every kit delivers VSWR of 1.06:1 and includes 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8 wavelength precision offset short circuits plus a fixed termination load, all supplied in a foam-lined wooden case. Custom band configurations are available — consult Mi-Wave for specific requirements.
