Keysight (Agilent) 85057A 2.4 mm Verification Kit

The Keysight (Agilent) 85057A 2.4 mm Verification Kit is a precision measurement standard set designed to validate network analyzer performance across RF and microwave frequency bands. It provides independently characterized standards—including a 50 ohm airline, stepped impedance airline, and 20 dB and 40 dB attenuators—enabling engineers to confirm measurement system accuracy against published specifications. Factory measurements are traceable to NIST, ensuring traceability and measurement integrity for demanding RF applications.
