The Keysight N4433D is a 4-port electronic calibration (ECal) module that delivers fast, accurate full-port calibration for Keysight vector network analyzers. Unlike traditional mechanical calibration kits, this USB-controlled module completes 4-port calibration in less than half the time while reducing operator error and connector wear.
