Overview

Constant and/or highly repetitive movement of cables can compromise the measurement precision of high-performance VNAs. In fact, a recent study showed that globally more than 75% of microwave/RF cable assemblies are replaced frequently due to damage during installation or operation.

Guaranteed Stability for Precise, Repeatable Measurements
GORE® VNA Microwave/RF Test Assemblies set the industry standard through 67 GHz.

GORE® VNA Microwave/RF Test Assemblies set the industry standard through 70 GHz.

GORE VNA Microwave/RF Test Assemblies are specifically engineered to provide the most precise VNA measurements in laboratory conditions. They deliver the highest accuracy and greatest time interval between recalibrations of any test assembly on the market today.

Gore’s assemblies maintain excellent insertion loss and VSWR. Before shipment, we test all of our assemblies for return loss, insertion loss, phase stability and loss stability up to their maximum operating frequency. Our test methods simulate real-world environments to ensure the assembly delivers precise, repeatable measurements in your application.

Our assemblies ensure accurate and repeatable measurements because of their phase and amplitude stability guaranteed with flexure — tested for over 100,000 flex cycles before we retest phase and amplitude stability.

Choose GORE VNA Microwave/RF Assemblies for precise, repeatable measurements for the life of your system.
