VNA Interface Kit Overview
This manual provides reference information for the Agilent 85097B vector network
analyzer (VNA) interface kit for electronic calibration (ECal).
The VNA interface kit is part of the VNA-based ECal system. The interface kit provides
the hardware to connect and allow data transfer between ECal modules and compatible
network analyzers. See
ECal modules are precision, single-connection devices that provide consistent calibrations
for your network analyzer. ECal uses fully traceable and verifiable electronic standards.
The interface kit does not include the ECal modules, but they can be ordered separately.
For ordering information, see
For more information about ECal modules, refer to the Electronic Calibration
