TRL Calibration Kit Design & Fabrication

Sept. 29, 2020
True TRL calibration requires a VNA with 2 dedicated measurement receivers per test port. Learn more in this application note on designing and fabricating a TRL calibration kit to perform TRL calibration on your VNA.
Copper Mountain Technologies provides metrologically sound, lab grade USB VNAs which support advanced calibration techniques, including TRL calibration. True TRL calibration requires a VNA with 2 dedicated measurement receivers per test port; except for the TR series and Planar 304/1, all 2+ ports CMT instruments have all the necessary receivers and internal architecture required for true TRL calibration. This application note introduces TRL calibration and describes how to configure TRL kit and perform a TRL calibration in the CMT software.
