The Keysight (Agilent) N4694A is a two-port electronic calibration module that automates vector network analyzer calibration from 10 MHz to 67 GHz. Equipped with 1.85 mm connectors, this ECal module delivers NIST-traceable accuracy while eliminating manual calibration steps and reducing connector wear on the VNA. A single connection enables full two-port calibration with solid-state switching technology and direct USB control via Keysight PNA and ENA series analyzers.
