Measurement Accessories

A complete list of RF and microwave test accessories is available
on our Web site:
www.keysight.com/find/accessories
Accessories are available in these connector types:
50 Ω Type-N, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, 1.85 mm, 1.0 mm,
and waveguide. Test port cables and a calibration kit should be
added for a complete measurement system. A verification kit is
used to verify corrected system performance.

Cables and adapter sets

Keysight offers cables in the following types:
– single cables in semi-rigid and flexible
– cable sets in semi-rigid and flexible
There are also adapter sets available that protect the test port
and convert the port to the desired connector interface. These
kits contain:
– one male adapter
– one female adapter
To attain the best mechanical rigidity for device connection, use a
single cable and the appropriate special adapter set. To attain the
greatest flexibility for device connection, use a cable set.

Calibration kits

Coaxial measurements
Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens,
shorts and loads, which are measured by the network analyzer for
increased measurement accuracy.
Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical calibra-
tion standards with one solid-state calibration module that is
controlled by the network analyzer via USB, to present many
different impedances to the test ports. A full two-port calibration
can be performed quickly with a single connection. This tech-
nique reduces operator errors and connector wear and abrasion.
Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.
Economy, includes:
– open standards (male and female)
– short standards (male and female)
– fixed-termination standards (male and female)
Standard, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
– sliding load standards (male and female) or a series of offset
shorts
Precision, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
– 50 Ω airline(s) for TRL calibration
– TRL adapters
Waveguide measurements
For waveguide measurements, Keysight offers mechanical
calibration kits that include:
– waveguide-to-coax adapters (X, P, K, R, Q, U, V)
– precision waveguide section
– flush short circuit
– fixed terminations
– straight section
