For most applications, the default calibration kit models provide sufficient accuracy for your calibration. However, several situations may exist that would require you to create a custom calibration kit:
Using a connector interface different from those used in the predefined calibration kit models.
Using standards (or combinations of standards) that are different from the predefined calibration kits. For example, using three offset SHORTs instead of an OPEN, SHORT, and LOAD to perform a 1-port calibration.
Improving the accuracy of the models for predefined kits. When the model describes the actual performance of the standard, the calibration is more accurate. For example: A 7 mm LOAD is determined to be 50.4 Ω instead of 50.0 Ω.
Modifying the THRU definition when performing a calibration for a non-insertable device.
Performing a TRL calibration.
