Anritsu 23SF50-3

The Anritsu 23SF50-3 is a precision short component designed for Vector Network Analyzer calibration. This 3.5mm female connector element operates across DC to 26.5 GHz and maintains 50 ohm impedance, serving as a critical reference standard for 12-term error-corrected measurements. The precision short enables highly accurate VNA and VNMS calibration by providing a known reflection standard. Part of a broader calibration kit ecosystem, the 23SF50-3 integrates with opens, broadband loads, and complementary components to support calibration of both male and female test ports. Its construction meets stringent industry standards for signal integrity and measurement repeatability across the full frequency range.
