Calibration kits

Error correction requires that the systematic errors in the measurement system be characterized by measuring known devices (standards) over the frequency range of interest with the process of cal- ibration. All calibration kits contain standards used for this purpose. The standards in the 3.5 mm,

2.4mm, and Type-N calibration kits use the preci- sion slotless connector (PSC-3.5, PSC-2.4, and PSC-N). Unless otherwise noted all coaxial calibra- tion kits include connector gauges and a torque wrench. Option 002 provides calibration kit data on magnetic tape for use with the 8510A/B (not available with 85059A).
