Maury MW - VNA Calibration Standard - Fixed Load Series
- Calibration-grade metrology standards
- Used for VNA calibration and/or calibration validation
A precision fixed termination (or load) consists of an immovable, (fixed) termination which, when mated to the end of a trans-mission line or cable, absorbs nearly all of the signal energy traveling toward it. An ideal “matched” condition exists when a termination with an impedance value of Z0, is connected to the end of a transmission line or cable that also has a characteristic impedance of Z0. Such an ideal “matched” condition (one with no mismatch between the termination and its mated line or cable) is critical if a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.0:1 is to be achieved in a system with a 50 or 75 ohm impedance value. Simply put, the more closely the 1.0:1 ratio is approached, the more accurate the measurements that can be made from a system.

More Product Information
Single phase electric power/energy calibrator for calibration and testing of power meters and power transducers. Terminals 2 and 3 are inactive.
- 0.01° phase shift accuracy
- 15 - 1000 Hz output
- Built-in multimeter for transducer calibration
- Floating current output for 3-wire power meters
- Voltage from Current function
- Ideal for applications requiring high ENR and immunity to large incident RF power
- Low VSWR
- Built-in isolator
The NC3400 Series coaxial AWGN noise sources are an excellent choice for applications requiring high ENR and immunity to large incident RF power, such as ATE, radiometer, and radar systems. The calibration accuracy and flatness of the NC3400 Series noise sources are enhanced by their low VSWR. The built-in isolator provides almost constant output impedance as the noise source bias is switched on and off. The isolator also protects the noise diode from incident RF power (consult the factory for higherpower units).
An SMA female connector is standard for the RF output and a BNC female connector is standard for the bias input. Other connectors are available as options.
- Dual-channel and differential voltage measurements
- 1% accuracy at full scale
- True RMS response below 30 mV
- Optional low-frequency probe for measurements from 10 Hz to 100 MHz
- DC recorder output
- IEEE-488 interface standard, RS-232
The 9240 series is the latest addition to the popular 9200 series of RF voltmeters. It combines accuracy, smart probes, and operator features that have never before been available in its price range. It is simple to use on the bench, and comprehensive enough to integrate into an ATE system. Boonton’s proven voltage probes directly measure from 200 μV to 10 V with usable indication as low as 50 μV and have true RMS response below 30 mV.

The 4240 series of CW RF power meters provides the high speed measurement capability needed in a production environment, as well as the simplicity of operation required for bench top use. It provides very accurate measurements from -70 dBm to +44 dBm (sensor dependent) and has a rapid display update rate for tuning applications. The easy to read LCD displays both channels simultaneously with numeric and bar graph information.
