Agilent / Keysight 85092C RF Electronic Calibration Module (ECal), 300 kHz to 9 GHz, Type-N, 50 ohm, 2-port

The Keysight 85092C is a 2-port RF electronic calibration module (ECal) that replaces mechanical calibration kits for Vector Network Analyzers. Operating from 300 kHz to 9 GHz with Type-N 50 ohm connectors, it delivers fast full two-port calibration via a single connection. Solid-state switching provides consistent performance while reducing connector wear and operator error.

Calibrations are NIST traceable.
