Page 7: Adapters
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. -

General Information Incoming Inspection Incoming Inspection Verify that the shipment is complete by referring to Figure 6-1 Figure 6-2. Check for damage. The foam-lined storage case provides protection during shipping. If the case or any device appears damaged, or if the shipment is incomplete, contact Agilent. -
Page 9: Recording The Device Serial Numbers
Recording the Device Serial Numbers In addition to the kit serial number, the devices in this kit are individually serialized (serial numbers are labeled onto the body of each device). Record these serial numbers in Table 1-1 for the 85032B and prevent confusing the devices in this kit with similar devices in other kits. -
Page 10: Clarifying The Sex Of A Connector
General Information Clarifying the Sex of a Connector Clarifying the Sex of a Connector In this manual, the sex of calibration devices and adapters are referred to in terms of their connector interface. For example, a male open has a male connector. However, during a measurement calibration, the network analyzer softkey menus label a type-N calibration device with reference to the sex of the analyzer’s test port connector—not the calibration device connector. - Page 11 Specifications 85032B/E...

Page 13: Mechanical Characteristics
Mechanical characteristics such as center conductor protrusion and pin depth are not performance specifications. They are, however, important supplemental characteristics related to electrical performance. Agilent Technologies verifies the mechanical characteristics of the devices in this kit with special gaging processes and electrical testing. - Page 14 Specifications Mechanical Characteristics The gages for measuring type-N connectors compensate for the designed NOTE offset of 5.26 mm (0.207 inch), therefore, protrusion and recession readings are in relation to a zero reference plane (as if the inner and outer conductor planes were intended to be flush).

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Visual Inspection Visual inspection and, if necessary, cleaning should be done every time a connection is made. Metal particles from the connector threads may fall into the connector when it is disconnected. -
Page 20: Inspect Female Connectors
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Cleaning Connectors Inspect Female Connectors Pay special attention to the contact fingers in the female center conductor. These can be bent or broken, and damage to them is not always easy to see. A connector with damaged contact fingers will negatively affect electrical performance and must be replaced. - Page 21 Use a lint-free swab or cleaning cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or stubborn contaminants on a connector that cannot be removed with compressed air or nitrogen. Refer to Table 6-3 on page 6-5 cleaning swabs. a. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free cleaning swab. b.

Page 28: Connections
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Connections Connections Good connections require a skilled operator. The most common cause of measurement error is bad connections. The following procedures illustrate how to make good connections. How to Make a Connection Preliminary Connection 1. - Page 29 Using a torque wrench guarantees that the connection is not too tight, preventing possible connector damage. It also guarantees that all connections are equally tight each time. 2. Prevent the rotation of anything other than the connector nut that you are tightening. It may be possible to do this by hand if one of the connectors is fixed (as on a test port).

Do not hold the wrench so tightly that you push the handle straight down along its length rather than pivoting it, otherwise you apply an unknown amount of torque. -
Page 31: How To Separate A Connection
How to Separate a Connection To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces, always support the devices and connections. CAUTION Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center conductor can occur if the device body is twisted. 1. - Page 32 Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Handling and Storage 3-16 85032B/E...
