Keysight / Agilent N4431A RF Electronic Calibration (ECal) Module
The Keysight / Agilent N4431A RF Electronic Calibration (ECal) Module revolutionizes the calibration process for vector network analyzers by offering a swift, simplified, and precise solution. This advanced ECal technology employs a one-connection calibration method that significantly reduces the time needed for a complete three- or four-port calibration compared to traditional mechanical calibration kits.
With the N4431A, users can achieve a full calibration in less than half the time while ensuring that accuracy is maintained at levels comparable to mechanical methods. Unlike conventional calibrations that require extensive operator involvement, often leading to human errors, the N4431A streamlines the process. The operator merely connects the ECal module to the network analyzer, allowing the sophisticated software to manage the calibration automatically.
