Why Modify a Cal Kit
For most applications, the default calibration kit models provide sufficient accuracy for your calibration. However, several situations may exist that would require you to create a custom calibration kit:
-
Using a connector interface different from those used in the predefined calibration kit models.
-
Using standards (or combinations of standards) that are different from the predefined calibration kits. For example, using three offset SHORTs instead of an OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD to perform a 1-port calibration.
-
Improving the accuracy of the models for predefined kits. When the model describes the actual performance of the standard, the calibration is more accurate. For example: A 7 mm LOAD is determined to be 50.4 Ω instead of 50.0 Ω.
-
Modifying the THRU definition when performing a calibration for a non-insertable device.
-
Performing a TRL calibration.
