Fairview Microwave Introduces New SOLT Calibration
July 3, 2020 | Fairview MicrowaveEstimated reading time: 1 minute
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.

Trouble in Your Tank: Implementing Direct Metallization in Advanced Substrate Packaging
09/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankDirect metallization systems based on conductive graphite are gaining popularity throughout the world. The environmental and productivity gains achievable with this process are outstanding. Direct metallization reduces the costs of compliance, waste treatment, and legal issues related to chemical exposure. A graphite-based direct plate system has been devised to address these needs.
Closing the Loop on PCB Etching Waste
09/09/2025 | Shawn Stone, IECAs the PCB industry continues its push toward greener, more cost-efficient operations, Sigma Engineering’s Mecer System offers a comprehensive solution to two of the industry’s most persistent pain points: etchant consumption and rinse water waste. Designed as a modular, fully automated platform, the Mecer System regenerates spent copper etchants—both alkaline and acidic—and simultaneously recycles rinse water, transforming a traditionally linear chemical process into a closed-loop system.
Driving Innovation: Depth Routing Processes—Achieving Unparalleled Precision in Complex PCBs
09/08/2025 | Kurt Palmer -- Column: Driving InnovationIn PCB manufacturing, the demand for increasingly complex and miniaturized designs continually pushes the boundaries of traditional fabrication methods, including depth routing. Success in these applications demands not only on robust machinery but also sophisticated control functions. PCB manufacturers rely on advanced machine features and process methodologies to meet their precise depth routing goals. Here, I’ll explore some crucial functions that empower manufacturers to master complex depth routing challenges.
