Passive ComponentsPassive Components



ESS designs many different passive components. We work with customers to help design exactly what they need for their specific application. Contact us for all your passive component needs; even if it is not listed here, it is likely we can help!

Some Components Include…

High Power Loads

ESS designs a variety of high-power load assemblies. We work with customers to accommodate their power requirements, length limitations, cooling methods and much more. Contact us with your specific application, so we can provide details about power handling, frequency, and VSWR.

Calibration KitsCalibration Kits



ESS manufactures and tests custom waveguide (WR22 – WR650) and coaxial calibration kits

Waveguide

A typical full calibration kit includes the following components:

  • 2 transition/adapters to standard coax for VNA connections
  • 2 offset short circuits (1/8 and 3/8 wavelength)
  • 2 fixed precision loads
  • Sliding load (if requested)
  • Flanged fixed pads (if requested)
  • Hard copy/PDF copies of calibration standards

Note: ESS also provides partial kits if only some components are required. Contact us for pricing and availability!

Coax: from 7/8 EIA to 6 1/8 EIA

  • 2 precision fixed coax 50 ohm terminations
  • 2 coax to coax (type-N female) adapters
  • 1 offset short circuit
  • 1 offset open circuit
  • 1 zero length straight section (if requested)
  • Hard copy/PDF copies of calibration standards

Note: ESS also provides partial kits if only some components are required. Contact us for pricing and availability!
