The Agilent/Keysight 85519A is a 4-in-1 mechanical OSLT calibration module designed for RF and microwave applications spanning DC to 18 GHz. This compact unit integrates open, short, load, and through calibration standards into a single instrument, enabling precise system error correction across network and spectrum analyzer platforms. The 85519A delivers repeatable measurements with controlled phase error and return loss specifications tailored to three distinct frequency bands. Its 50 Ohm impedance and Type-N female connector architecture ensure straightforward integration into standard laboratory setups.
