Rigol CK106E Economical Network Analysis Calibration Kit

The Rigol CK106E is an economical calibration kit purpose-built for VNA calibration on Rigol RSA3000N and RSA5000N series network analyzers. It supplies Open, Short, Load, and Thru standards—all essential for accurate S-parameter measurements from DC to 1.5 GHz. Type-N male connectors and 50 Ohm impedance ensure direct compatibility with standard test ports. The kit enables precise calibration across gain, phase, and distance-to-fault analysis with minimal insertion loss and repeatable return loss characteristics.
