  • Page 8: Calibration Kit Overview

    Calibration Kit Overview Calibration Kit Overview The Keysight 85054B type-N calibration kit is used to calibrate Keysight network analyzers up to 18 GHz for measurements of components with 50type-N connectors. The standards in this calibration kit allow you to perform simple 1- or 2-port and TRM (thru–reflect–match) calibrations.

  • Page 9: 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. 85054B...
