Calibration Services
Let’s discuss the two types of calibration – Periodic Verification (or Calibration) and Measurement Calibration. Periodic verification is used to check the instrument periodically to ensure that it is operating within its specifications. We recommend a 12-month verification or calibration interval for all VNAs and ACMs (Automatic Calibration Modules); however, the interval should be determined by your organization’s quality policy. We offer a full range of VNA calibration services and repairs.
Our Indianapolis and Cyprus calibration laboratories are accredited in accordance with the recognized international standard ISO/IEC 17025 (2017) and meets the requirements of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1994-1. Alternatively, our network analyzers and calibration kits can be calibrated by any ISO17025-accredited and Z540-1 compliant calibration lab worldwide. The VNA Performance Test (VNAPT) software application is not required but is available for third-party laboratories without restriction and can be downloaded here.
When sending equipment for service, please provide information to answer the following questions:
1. Do you require the shipping materials you’re using to send the device to be returned to you? By default, they may be discarded at our discretion.
2. Should anti-tamper stickers be installed after service? By default, they will be installed.
3. If upon receipt the instrument is out of tolerance, may we open the instrument for diagnosis? By default, we will not.
4. What is the desired calibration due date for the device? Unless specified, we will leave the due date blank.
5. Are there any other special considerations or requests related to your calibration service?
