Keysight N9916AU/112 QuickCal Calibration Option

Overview

The Keysight N9916AU/112 QuickCal option enables rapid field calibration of FieldFox portable network analyzers without requiring mechanical calibration standards. It automatically corrects for phase shift, time delay, and loss introduced by adapters or jumper cables, making it ideal for quick and simple field measurements.

Key Features

• No mechanical calibration standards required
• Corrects for phase shift, time delay, and cable loss
• Simple, one-step field calibration procedure
• Optimized for Type-N and 7/16 connectors
• Suitable for adapter and jumper cable compensation

Limitations and Recommendations

• 7/16 connectors supported up to 6 GHz only
• Type-N 75 Ohm supported up to 3 GHz only
• Not recommended for 3.5 mm-female or SMA-female connectors
• Cannot be used with waveguides or test fixtures containing attenuators
• For highest accuracy, use mechanical calibration with a high-quality calibration kit
• Not applicable to N995x/6xA models

Applications

• Field calibration of network analyzers
• Quick DUT connection calibration with adapters
• Production and service test environments
