General Information Calibration Kit Overview Calibration Kit Overview The 85059B 1.0 mm precision calibration kit is used to calibrate your PNA series network analyzer system. This kit is used for the measurement of Ω components with 50 , 1.0 mm connectors with a frequency range of DC to 120 GHz.
In the PNA’s Modify Calibration Class Assignments dialog box , the “Expanded Math” feature is turned ON by default when the 85059B data-based model is selected from a cal kit menu. In order to achieve a more accurate calibration, Expanded Math uses the data at any given frequency from ALL measured standards instead of using only the three standards specified in the class definitions.
1-1). Figure 1-1 OPEN Calibration Devices: 85059B Adapters Like the other devices in the kit, the adapters are built to very tight tolerances to provide good broadband performance and to ensure stable, repeatable connections. Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide...

Refer to “Using a Network Analyzer” on page 1-6. To download a copy of the 85059B calibration kit definitions (.xkt file), refer to Keysight’s Calibration Kit Definitions Web page at http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/caldefs/stddefs.html For best measurement results, the isolation standard should be the equivalent impedance of the DUT.
(serial numbers are printed on an attached label, or scribed onto the body of each device). Record these serial numbers in Figure 1-6 on page 1-16. This can help you avoid confusing the devices in this kit with similar devices from other kits. Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide...

Wide separation of the wrenches produces a larger residual lateral force on the structure of connected devices. This can degrade connector repeatability. 3. Hold the torque wrench lightly, at the end of the handle only (beyond the groove). See Figure 3-11 on page 3-17. 3-16 Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide...
