1-7 PRECISION COMPONENT
KITS Two types of precision-component kits are available: calibration and
verification.
Calibration Kits Calibration kits contain components used to identify and separate er-
ror sources inherent in microwave test setups. The Model 365X Cali-
bration Kits contain all of the precision components and tools required
to calibrate the VNA for 12-term error-corrected measurements of test
devices with the connector type specified. When applicable, compo-
nents are included for calibrating both male and female test ports. The
kits also support calibrations with broadband loads.
Each of the available calibration kits are described in detail in the Vec-
tor Network Analyzer Mechanical Calibration Kits Reference Manual,
PN: 10410-00278. A typical Model 365X Calibration Kit is shown in
Figure 1-2. The following is a list of available 365X Calibration Kits:
qModel 3650A SMA/3.5 mm Calibration Kit
qModel 3651A GPC–7 Calibration Kit
qModel 3652A K Connector Calibration Kit
qModel 3653A Type N Calibration Kit
qModel 3654D V Connector® Calibration Kit
Verification Kits The Model 366X Verification kits consist of precision components of
the connector type specified with characteristics traceable to the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This type of
kit is usually kept in the metrology laboratory where it provides the
most dependable means of checking system accuracy. Each of these
kits contains a disk or USB drive providing factory-measured coeffi-
cient or test data for each component, allowing for comparison with
customer-measured data.
A typical Model 365X Verification Kit is shown in Figure 1-3. The fol-
lowing is a list of available 366X Verification Kits:
qModel 3666 3.5 mm Verification Kit
qModel 3667 GPC–7 Verification Kit
qModel 3668 K Connector® Verification Kit
qModel 3669/3669B V Connector® Verification Kits
