Fairview Microwave Introduces New SOLT Calibration

Reading time ( words)

Fairview Microwave Inc., an Infinite Electronics brand and a leading provider of on-demand RF, microwave and millimeter wave components, has unveiled a new series of short-open-load-through (SOLT) calibration kits designed for use in lab, test and measurement, and RF and Microwave production test applications.

Fairview’s expansion of its VNA calibration kit line consists of 12 models including short circuit, open circuit and load kits (SOL), as well as short circuit, open circuit, load and thru kits (SOLT). Interface options include 2.4mm, 2.92mm, 3.5mm, 7/16 DIN, 7mm, N-Type and BNC.

Every model in this new line of VNA calibration kits includes the required short circuit, open circuit, loads and thru (model dependent) components required for VNA calibration. These RF test and measurement kits come packaged in protective wooden boxes. They are suitable for a variety of vector network analyzers from the industry’s leading providers such as Rohde & Schwarz, Agilent, Copper Mountain and Anritsu.

“The precise characterization of RF and microwave components requires a properly calibrated VNA. These new SOLT calibration kits deliver the precision components necessary to perform accurate analyzer calibrations,” said Steve Ellis, Interconnect Product Line Manager. 

Fairview’s new SOLT calibration kits are specifically designed for the calibration and fine-tuning of sensitive test equipment in production environments, engineering labs and quality testing facilities. These kits are constructed to provide accurate RF equipment calibration for the life of the product and withstand years of rigorous use.

I write this on the final day of CES 2021, and I expect CES will never be the same. It will not revert back to what it once was. I also cannot imagine it stays a totally virtual show; in doing so, I feel it would fail. Does that mean I think the 2021 show was a failure? No, not at all. In fact, it was a very good event, particularly in light of the medical and political pandemic that we have been enduring.

Using microfluidic passages cut directly into the backsides of production field-programmable gate array (FPGA) devices, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers are putting liquid cooling right where it's needed the most - a few hundred microns away from where the transistors are operating.
