Why Engineers Choose N469xD ECal Modules
N469xD ECal modules can be controlled directly via USB from compatible Keysight analyzers:
- PNA Series: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB, N522xA, N523xA, N524xA
- ENA Series: E5080A, E5080B (all N469xD models); E5061B, E5063A, E5071C, E5072A (N4690D, N4691D, N4692D and N4696D only, not supported with N4693D and N4694D)
- PXI VNAs: M980xA, M937xA, M9485A
- Streamline VNAs: P937xA, P937xB, P938xB, P500xA/B, P502xA/B
- FieldFox: N99xxB; N99xxA with CPU2 (N9912A not supported)
Minimum firmware and hardware requirements may apply. For detailed compatibility requirements, see Table 1-12 in the Electronic Calibration Modules Reference Guide.
Keysight Calibration
Why OEM Calibration Matters When Buying Used ECal
An ECal module is only as accurate as the characterization data stored inside it. When buying used, verified calibration matters as much as physical condition. All Keysight Premium Used modules include OEM calibration, while fresh Keysight calibration can be added to other used offers.
Calibrated Where It Was Built
N469xD modules are calibrated by Keysight, using specially manufactured equipment and standards traceable to national standards.
Verified Against Specifications
Each module is tested against its warranted specifications using precision calibration standards and traceable measurement procedures.
Documented Results
Keysight calibration includes a calibration certificate and a report with measured values, specifications and uncertainties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose based on frequency range and connector type. The N4690D supports Type-N 50 ohm up to 18 GHz, the N4691D 3.5 mm up to 26.5 GHz, the N4692D 2.92 mm up to 40 GHz, the N4693D 2.4 mm up to 50 GHz, and the N4694D 1.85 mm up to 67 GHz. The N4696D supports 7 mm connectors up to 18 GHz.
These options define the lower frequency limit of N469xD ECal modules. Option 0DC extends calibration down to DC and is available for all models. Without Option 0DC, the N4690D, N4691D and N4696D start at 300 kHz (Option 003), while the N4692D, N4693D and N4694D start at 10 MHz (Option 100). Option 0DC is particularly useful for broadband device modeling and time-domain measurements.
No. N469xD modules support various Keysight PNA, ENA, PXIe, Streamline and FieldFox analyzers, but compatibility depends on the ECal model, analyzer and firmware. For example, the N4693D and N4694D are not supported on the E5061B, E5063A, E5071C or E5072A. Check the Electronic Calibration Modules Reference Guide for detailed compatibility requirements.
N469xB modules belong to an earlier generation of Keysight electronic calibration modules, while N469xD modules are part of the newer series. Frequency coverage, connector configurations, calibration options and analyzer compatibility vary by model. Check the specifications of each module before selecting a replacement.
While all equipment sold through our official Keysight Used Equipment Store is certified by us as the original manufacturer, eligible products can also benefit from fresh Keysight calibration and KeysightCare support. Keysight Premium Used goes a step further, offering equipment remanufactured to like-new condition, including a 101-point quality check, OEM calibration, the same warranty as new and hardware customization options for eligible models.
Yes. Keysight Premium Used ECal modules include OEM calibration. For other used offers, check the calibration status shown in the listing. Fresh Keysight calibration can be added where available.
A mechanical VNA calibration kit uses individual calibration standards that must be connected in sequence. An electronic calibration (ECal) module uses electronically switched, individually characterized standards to simplify calibration with a single connection to the module. This reduces manual steps, connection-related variability and connector wear. Learn more in our VNA Calibration Guide.
Check the frequency range, connector type and configuration, VNA compatibility, calibration status and warranty. Also verify the condition of the precision connectors and which accessories are included with the specific offer.
