Agilent Technologies 85036B manual Calibration Definitions, Equipment Required but Not Supplied

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.

Equipment Required but Not Supplied

Gages, torque and open-end wrenches, ESD protective devices, 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
