General Information Calibration Kit Overview Calibration Kit Overview The Keysight 85032B and 85032E type-N calibration kits are used to calibrate Keysight network analyzers up to 6 GHz for measurements of components with 50type-N connectors. Kit Contents Use the Contents List in the shipping container to verify the completeness of your shipment. Although this list is the most accurate, you can also use the illustrations in Chapter 7 to verify the items in your shipment.
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. Options The following options are available for the Keysight 85032B/E. Option 100 (85032B only) Option 100 adds the four type-N to 7-mm adapters to the calibration kit.

During a measurement calibration, the temperature of the calibration devices must be stable and within the range specified in Table 2-1. IMPORTANT Avoid unnecessary handling of the devices during calibration because your fingers are a heat source. 2- 2 85032B/E...
They are, however, important supplemental characteristics related to electrical performance. Keysight Technologies verifies the mechanical characteristics of the devices in this kit with special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the device connectors do not exhibit any improper pin depth when the kit leaves the factory.

. Certification Keysight Technologies certifies that this product met its published specifications at the time of shipment from the factory. Keysight further certifies that its calibration measurements are traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to the extent allowed by the Institute's calibration facility, and to the calibration facilities of other International Standards Organization members.

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors Gaging Connectors The gages available from Keysight Technologies are intended for preventive maintenance and troubleshooting purposes only. (See Table 6-3 on page 6-5 for part number information.) They are effective in detecting excessive center conductor protrusion or recession, and conductor damage on DUTs, test accessories, and the calibration kit devices.Do not use the gages for precise pin depth measurements.
If the center conductor protrudes, the indicator will move clockwise to indicate the amount of protrusion, which is read as a positive value. Refer to Depth on page 2-3 for definitions of protrusion and recession. Figure 3-2 Reading the Connector Gage 85032B/E...
After each measurement, rotate the gage a quarter-turn to reduce measurement variations that result from the gage or the connector face not being exactly perpendicular to the center axis. e. Compare the average reading with the observed pin depth limits in Table 2-2 on page 2-4. 3- 8 85032B/E...
