I bought a couple of miniVNA and both came with a male SOL kit.
now, whenever I want to measure a DUT, I need to use cables which are terminated with a male connector.
to calibrate the set up I need to use a barrel (double female) to connect the SOL connectors, but this way I increase the length of the cable by at least 1/2 of the length of the barrel!
maybe it's negligible using SMA connectors but with N connectors...I have a Radiall R161 705 barrel (I guess rated for 10GHz) which is 4,5 cm. long!
so, why do not use only female SOL kits?
thanks in advance for your answers!
