RF & Microwave Calibration
RF and microwave calibration to 50 GHz on our ANAB ISO/IEC 17025 scope at the Vista, Santa Clara and Orlando labs.
Accredited Scope of Calibration
Our RF & microwave calibration laboratory supports the full spectrum of high-frequency measurements with NIST-traceable standards and best-in-class measurement uncertainty.
ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited — ANAB AC-1736
Techmaster Electronics is accredited by ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for calibration services. The table shows what this discipline covers on that scope and at which laboratory. Measurement uncertainties for every range are in the published scope document.
| Parameter | On scope | Accredited at |
|---|---|---|
| Power sensor calibration factors | to 50 GHz | Vista, Santa Clara, Orlando |
| Single-sideband phase noise | to 50 GHz | Vista, Santa Clara, Orlando |
| Noise figure | to 26.5 GHz | Vista, Santa Clara, Orlando |
| Frequency, source | 1 µHz to 50 GHz | Vista, Santa Clara, Orlando |
RF and microwave calibration is not performed at the San Antonio lab.

What usually drifts
- Power sensors drift in calibration factor, most at the top of their frequency range.
- Connector wear changes match and repeatability long before anything looks damaged.
- Reference oscillators age, which shows up as frequency error across every measurement.
