Calibration Kit Overview

The Agilent 85032B and 85032E type-N calibration kits are used to calibrate Agilent network analyzers up to 6 GHz for measurements of components with 50Ω type-N connectors.

Kit Contents

The 85032B calibration kit contains the following:

•one male and one female open termination

•one male and one female short termination

•one male and one female 50Ω load

•two type-N-male to 7-mm adapters (included with Option 100)

•two type-N-female to 7-mm adapters (included with Option 100)

Refer to Table 6-1and Figure 6-1for a complete list of kit contents and their associated part numbers.

The 85032E calibration kit contains the following:

•one male combination open/short termination

•one male 50Ω load

Refer to Table 6-2and Figure 6-2for a complete list of kit contents and their associated part numbers.

Broadband Loads

The broadband loads are instrument-grade, 50Ω terminations that have been optimized for performance up to 6 GHz. The rugged internal structure provides for highly repeatable connections. A distributed resistive element on sapphire provides excellent stability and return loss.

Opens and Shorts

The opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined to the current state-of the-art precision machining.

The short’s inner conductors have a one-piece construction, common with the shorting plane. This construction provides for extremely repeatable connections.

The female open has a separate-piece inner conductor that is made from a low-dielectric-constant plastic to minimize compensation values.

Both the opens and shorts are constructed so that the pin depth can be controlled very tightly, thereby minimizing phase errors. Some of the opens and shorts have offsets. The lengths of these offsets are designed so that the difference in phase of their reflection coefficients is approximately 180 degrees at all frequencies.
