The standards behind accurate VNA measurements
Vector network analyzer (VNA) calibration is only as reliable as the standards behind it. Maury broad portfolio of calibration standards provides the performance required for accurate S-parameter measurements across coaxial and waveguide systems. Whether it’s open, short, load, airline components—or mismatch and waveguide sections—each standard is engineered to ensure excellent repeatability, traceability, and mechanical stability. Serving as the backbone of SOLT, TRL, and other calibration techniques spanning R&D, manufacturing, and metrology applications, Maury VNA calibration standards uphold measurement confidence in every setup.
We specialize in fully integrated solutions.
