Abstract

These days, many instrument calibrations are performed automatically – for example, using electronic calibration units. This includes calibration of vector network analysers (VNAs) where the calibration standards are generated electronically rather than using mechanical devices. However, verifying performance – particularly accuracy – of these electronic units is more difficult due to the “black box” nature of these devices. This paper describes a benchmarking exercise of a new-to-market electronic calibration unit, designed specifically for use with a portable USB-driven VNA. This includes a comparison of performance with mechanical calibration kits, and a comparison with the most accurate measurements available, obtained using primary national standards.
