180 degrees at all frequencies.
Broadband Load
The broadband load is a metrology-grade termination that has been optimized for
performance up to 18 GHz. The rugged internal structure provides for highly repeatable
connections. A distributed resistive element on sapphire provides excellent stability and
return loss. The broadband load is a valid substitute for a lowband load.
Precision Airline
The precision airline is a metrology-grade impedance reference device. The characteristic
impedance (Z
) of the line establishes the reference impedance after error correction is
0
applied.
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
• loaded from the provided disk
• 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
Connector cleaning supplies and various electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices
are not supplied with the calibration kit but are required to ensure successful operation of
the kit. Refer to
Table 6-2 on page 6-3
for ordering information.
