Abstract

A calibration array for calibrating a network analyzer, the array having multiple calibration points for direct or indirect connection to a network analyzer, and a main body connected to the calibration points, at least one of the calibration points being rotatable in relation to the main body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A calibration device for calibrating a network analyzer, comprising
a main body; and
multiple calibration points on the main body for direct or indirect electrical connection to a network analyzer, and including (A) at least one of a short, a load/match, or an open, and (B) a thru;
wherein at least one of the calibration points is rotatable relative to at least one part of the main body.

2. The calibration device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises a first main-body part and a second main-body part, wherein the second main-body part is rotatable with respect to the first main-body part.

3. A calibration device for calibrating a network analyzer, comprising
a main body comprising a first main-body part and a second main-body part; and
multiple calibration points on the main body for direct or indirect electrical connection to a network analyzer, and including (A) at least one of a short, a load/match, or an open, and (B) a thru;
wherein at least one of the calibration points is on the second main-body part and the second main-body part is rotatable with respect to the first main-body part; and wherein the first main-body part is connected to the second main-body part via at least one connecting element.

4. The calibration device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the at least one connecting element is designed as a screw, a driver pin, or a magnet.

5. The calibration device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a force necessary for rotating the first and/or the second main-body part is adjustable via the connecting element.

6. The calibration device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a spring is arranged in the first main-body part and/or in the second main-body part.

7. The calibration device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein at least one disk, is formed in the main body.

8. The calibration device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the at least one disk is situated between the spring and the connecting element, or between the spring and the main-body part in which the spring is arranged, or between the first main-body part and the second main-body part.

9. The calibration device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first main-body part comprises a cloverleaf-shaped recess; and the second main-body part comprises a step that engages the cloverleaf-shaped recess.

10. The calibration device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the multiple calibration points include a short, and a load/match, and an open, and a thru; and
wherein the short, the load/match, and the open calibration points are located on the first main-body part, and the thru calibration point is located on the second main-body part.

11. A calibration device for calibrating a network analyzer, comprising
a main body comprising a first main-body part and a second main-body part, wherein the second main-body part is rotatable with respect to the first main-body part;
wherein the first main-body part includes a short calibration point, a load/match calibration point, and an open calibration point; and
wherein the second main-body part includes a thru calibration point comprising a pair of connectors.

12. The calibration device of claim 11 , wherein the first main-body part is connected to the second main-body part by a screw that is situated in a hole in each of the first main-body part and the second main-body part.

13. The calibration device of claim 12 , further comprising a spring situated between a bottom of the hole in the first main-body part and a head of the screw.

14. The calibration device of claim 11 , wherein the first main-body part comprises a cloverleaf-shaped recess; and the second main-body part comprises a step that engages the cloverleaf-shaped recess.
