Pasternack Launches Seven New Fixed Load VNA Calibration Kits
June 1, 2020 | PasternackEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Pasternack, an Infinite Electronics brand and a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has just released a new line of short-open-load-through (SOLT) calibration kits that are ideal for use in test and measurement, lab and RF & Microwave production test applications.
Pasternack’s expanded line of VNA calibration kits are available in 12 versions including short circuit, open circuit and load kits (SOL) as well as short circuit, open circuit, load and thru kits (SOLT) with 2.4mm, 2.92mm, 3.5mm, 7/16 DIN, 7mm, BNC and N-Type interface options.
Each of these new VNA calibration kits from Pasternack include all of the necessary short circuit, open circuit, loads and thru (model dependent) components required for VNA calibration. The kits are suitable for many vector network analyzers from the industry’s leading providers such as Agilent, Rohde & Schwarz, Anritsu and Copper Mountain. These RF test and measurement kits come packaged in protective wooden boxes.
The new SOLT calibration kits offer excellent performance characteristics that are specially designed for the fine-tuning and calibration of sensitive test equipment in engineering labs, production environments and quality testing facilities. Every Pasternack calibration kit is built to withstand years of rigorous use and provides accurate RF equipment calibration for the life of the product.
“A properly calibrated VNA is required for precise characterization of RF and microwave components used in a myriad of industries and applications. These new SOLT calibration kits provide the precision components that are essential to perform accurate analyzer calibrations,” said Steve Ellis, Interconnect Product Line Manager at Pasternack.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
07/18/2025 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007It may be the middle of the summer, but the news doesn’t quit, and there’s plenty to talk about this week, whether you’re talking technical or on a global scale. When I have to choose six items instead of my regular five, you know it’s good. I start by highlighting my interview with Martyn Gaudion on his latest book, share some concerning tariff news, follow that up with some promising (and not-so-promising) investments, and feature a paper from last January’s inaugural Pan-European Design Conference.

Digital Twin Concept in Copper Electroplating Process Performance
07/11/2025 | Aga Franczak, Robrecht Belis, Elsyca N.V.PCB manufacturing involves transforming a design into a physical board while meeting specific requirements. Understanding these design specifications is crucial, as they directly impact the PCB's fabrication process, performance, and yield rate. One key design specification is copper thieving—the addition of “dummy” pads across the surface that are plated along with the features designed on the outer layers. The purpose of the process is to provide a uniform distribution of copper across the outer layers to make the plating current density and plating in the holes more uniform.
