Keysight / Agilent N4691B MW Electronic Calibration (ECal) Module
The Keysight / Agilent N4691B MW Electronic Calibration (ECal) Module revolutionizes the calibration process for vector network analyzers. Designed for efficiency and precision, this module enables rapid and accurate calibration using advanced electronic techniques. It offers two straightforward control methods, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of network analyzers.
For users of the Agilent PNA and ENA series network analyzers, the N4691B can be effortlessly controlled through its USB interface. Alternatively, when utilized with an Agilent 8753E/ES/ET or 8720D/ES/ET, it can be managed via an 85097B interface kit, requiring a special parallel cable and firmware version 7.74. This flexibility optimizes usability across different testing environments.
Engineered to deliver exceptional performance, the ECal module minimizes the time and effort required for a full two-port calibration, cutting the necessary connections and time in half compared to traditional mechanical calibration kits. The precision achieved through ECal rivals that of mechanical methods, mitigating the risk of operator errors commonly associated with manual calibrations.
