Anritsu 36582KKF – 2-port AutoCal K type, 40 MHz to 40 GHz

The Anritsu 36582KKF is a 2-port AutoCal K-type calibration module that automates vector network analyzer calibration across 40 MHz to 40 GHz. This mechanical module uses electro-mechanical actuators to exchange internal calibration standards, delivering fast, repeatable, and high-accuracy coaxial calibrations. The module removes systematic VNA errors through precisely characterized standards and supports 1-port S11/S22 calibrations, full 2-port OSLT (Open-Short-Load-Thru) calibrations, and efficient Thru Update mode for 12-term calibration refinement without full re-calibration.
