  • linearity calibration (-5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10, -15, -20, -30, -40, -50, -60 dBm, CMC Uncertainty 0.19 dB)

TV analysers

  • functionality check, mechanical check of the output connector and + cleaning
  • RF power calibration (-70 to +7.4 dBm, 5 – 2050 MHz)
  • linearity calibration – RF power / frequency calibration
  • instruments with auto-correction – setting calibration constants

We calibrate also other kinds of fiber optics instruments as e.g. Back-reflection Meter / Optical Return Loss Tester (ORL), Optical Attenuator (OA / VA) or Polarization Mode Dispersion Analyser (PMD) …
