Using calibration kits on HP, Agilent or Keysight VNAs

Kirkby Microwaves range of low-cost calibration and verifccation kits will work with almost any HP, Agilent or Keysight VNA. Please see this specific pages, but if you have any other VNA, and wish to use our kits with it, then please contact us by phone or email, so we can work out whether your VNA can be used. In almost all cases the answer will be yes.

Almost any HP, Agilent or Keysight VNA can be used with our calibration kits, except some very old models that don't allow entry of coefficients. To aid using our kits, the following can be supplied.

Floppy disks containing the coefficients for the 8510, 8714, 8753, 8719, 8720 and 8722 series VNAs, if they have floppy disk drives fitted. (The older models to not, later models do.)
Files on a USB stick, with the extension .cxx, in a format readable by most Agilent ENAs, although the old model do not have any way whatsoever of loading the coefficients from a file,
Files, with the extension .xkt, readable by FieldFox and PNA series instruments.

All FieldFoxes which can read a .xkt file, although if your FieldFox has a very old firmware release, you will need to update that first.
