A complete list of RF test accessories and calibration kits are available on our Web site:

Test accessories
Test accessories such as test port cable are necessary for a complete measurement system using the E5061B. Order test
accessories in accordance with the desired measurement system.
Calibration kits
Calibration is an accuracy enhancement procedure that effectively reduces the system errors that cause uncertainty in
network measurement. Calibration kit is necessary to perform the calibration.
–Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens, shorts and loads, which are measured by the network
analyzer. Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.
–Electronic calibration (ECal) modules replace mechanical calibration standards with one solid-state calibration
module that is controlled by the network analyzer via USB. ECal modules provide many different impedances to the
test ports which enables a full two-port calibration to be performed quickly with a single connection. This technique
reduces operator errors and connector wear and abrasion.
