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.

The Chemical Connection: Getting to Know Your Vendor
02/16/2024 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionAfter working for a capital equipment supplier for almost 50 years, I’ve found that the most important part of getting to know your vendor is good communication among all parties. While contact between fabricators of a constantly changing product line and the designers of those products may occur daily or weekly, conversations between you and your equipment supplier may be years apart. That lengthy gap often means that previous contacts may have been promoted, retired, or moved on to other opportunities. You may have also migrated to a new supplier with whom you have little or no history. In either case, you will be interacting with someone you are unfamiliar with (as they are with you). Therefore, it is essential for both sides to communicate clearly so expectations will align.
