General Information

Calibration Kit Overview

Adapters

Like the other devices in the kit, the adapters are built to very tight tolerances to provide good broadband performance. The adapters utilize a dual-beaded connector structure to ensure stable, repeatable connections. The beads are designed to minimize return loss and are separated far enough so that interaction between the beads is minimized.

The adapters are designed so that their nominal electrical lengths are the same, which allows them to be used in calibration procedures for non-insertable devices.

Calibration Definitions

The calibration kit must be selected and the calibration definitions for the devices in the kit installed in the network analyzer prior to performing a calibration. Refer to your network analyzer user’s guide for instructions on selecting the calibration kit and performing a calibration.

The calibration definitions can be:

•resident within the analyzer

•entered from the front panel

Installation of the Calibration Definitions

The calibration definitions for the kit may be permanently installed in the internal memory or hard disk of the network analyzer.

If the calibration definitions for the kit are not permanently installed in the network analyzer, they must be manually entered. Refer to your network analyzer user’s guide for instructions.

Options

The following options are available for the Agilent 85032B/E.

Option 100 (85032B only) Option 100 adds the four type-N to 7-mm adapters to the calibration kit.

Option 003 (85032B only) This option provides a limited calibration for the devices in the calibration kit to 3 GHz instead of 6 GHz. This calibration option can be requested only from an Agilent service center. It cannot be ordered from the factory.

Option UK6 This option adds a certificate of calibration and the corresponding calibration data for the devices in the calibration kit.

Equipment Required but Not Supplied

Gages, torque and open-end wrenches, and various connector cleaning supplies are not included in the calibration kit but are required to ensure successful operation of the calibration kit. Refer to Table 6-3 on page 6-5for ordering information
