The Anritsu GB5A003 is a 50-ohm calibration kit engineered to verify and maintain measurement accuracy across Anritsu network analyzers from DC to 8 GHz. This single-component calibration standard integrates full open, short, and load reflection standards, eliminating the need for multiple external components and streamlining the calibration workflow in both laboratory and field environments.
## Technical Specifications
• Impedance: 50 Ohm
• Frequency Range: DC to 8 GHz
• Calibration Standards: Open, short, and load reflection standards integrated in single component
• Recommended Calibration Interval: 1 year
## Key Features
• Open standard presents open circuit at reference plane
• Short standard presents short circuit at reference plane
• Load standard presents precise 50-ohm impedance termination at reference plane
• All standards consolidated into one assembly for simplified handling and setup
• Precision construction designed to withstand field deployment
## Typical Applications
The GB5A003 addresses systematic error correction in vector network analyzer measurements, including directivity compensation, source match characterization, and reflection and transmission tracking. It serves laboratory calibration procedures and field verification tasks where portable, integrated calibration standards are required.
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed for integration with Anritsu network analyzer platforms. The DC to 8 GHz bandwidth accommodates standard RF connectors typical of Anritsu’s analyzer ecosystem. Requires proper handling to avoid shock, excessive torque, or power stress that could degrade calibration accuracy. Annual recalibration maintains traceability and measurement reliability.
