Focus recommends TRL Calibration Kits for applications such as load pull & noise parameters. Due to high reflection and low loss, tuner S-parameter measurements represent a challenge for VNA’s, because of error term determination and coupler directivity. Long experience has taught us not to rely on other calibration techniques than TRL (Thru-Reflect-Line). The popular SOLT technique is conditionally useable, but not guaranteed, up to 4GHz. The much convenient ECal method has provided questionable and inconsistent results. Our Customers are advised to be very careful with VNA calibrations, because the whole measured data depends on that.
Because of this, and to save our customers time and doubt, Focus has developed and offers a set of precise and reliable TRL calibration kits from 0.03 to 110 GHz with the following connector types: 7/16, N, APC-7, 3.5mm, 2.9mm, 2.4mm, 1.85mm, WR-15, WR-10. Our calibration kits are compatible with all commercial network analyzers.

Impedance Standard Substrates (ISSs) supports all of your high-frequency probing applications. Using them ensures greater accuracy and better repeatability in on-wafer calibration of vector network analyzers. Our ISSs offer the proven accuracy of LRRM calibrations with automatic load inductance compensation.
- Solve machine vision applications efficiently by constructing flowcharts instead of writing program code, using field-proven tools for analyzing, classifying, locating, measuring, reading and verifying
- Use a single program for creating both application logic and operator interface
- Leverage deep learning for visual inspection through image classification and segmentation tools
- Rely on a common underlying vision library for the same results with an Iris GTX smart camera, vision systems or third-part computer
- Work with multiple cameras all within the same project or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting
- Interface to Zebra AltiZ and third party 3D sensors to visualize, process and analyze depth maps and point clouds
- Communication options include discrete Zebra I/Os, RS-232, and Ethernet (TCP/IP, CC-Link IE Field Basic, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, and PROFINET, and native robot interfaces)
- Maximize productivity with instant feedback on image analysis and processing operations
- Receive immediate pertinent assistance through an integrated contextual guide
- Maintain control and independence through the ability to create custom flowchart steps
- Test communication with PLC using the built-in PLC interface emulator
- Protect against inappropriate changes with the Project Change Validator tool
