Calibration Kit Overview Calibration Kit Overview The Keysight 85058B (Standard) and 85058E (Economy) 1.85 mm calibration kits are used to calibrate Keysight network analyzers up to 67 GHz for measurements of components with 1.85 mm connectors. The 1.85 mm connector is designed such that it may be mated with 2.4 mm connectors.
If you are using a PNA, it is RECOMMENDED that you use Expanded Math with the 85058B data-based model for the highest accuracy. Expanded Math has no effect with the 85058E data-based model. Polynomial Model The polynomial models may be used with SmartCal (Guided) and the Unguided Mechanical Calibration method of the PNA Cal Wizard.

General Information Slotted Connectors Slotted Connectors The female connectors in this kit have slotted contacts. Therefore, the female devices are instrument grade. Unlike precision slotless connectors, the slotted contacts prevent the devices from being classified as metrology grade. With slotted connectors, the connected male device partially determines the connector impedance of the female device by flaring the contact fingers and consequently varying the diameter of the female center conductor.
General Information Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface In this document and in the prompts of the PNA calibration wizard, the sex of cable connectors and adapters is referred to in terms of the center conductor. For example, a connector or device designated as 1.85 mm –f–...
General Information When to Calibrate When to Calibrate A network analyzer calibration remains valid as long as the changes in the systematic error are insignificant. This means that changes to the uncorrected leakages (directivity and isolation), mismatches (source match and load match), and frequency response of the system are small (<10%) relative to accuracy specifications.

Mechanical characteristics such as center conductor protrusion and pin depth are not performance specifications. 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.
Specifications Electrical Specifications its pin depth. The electrical specifications for each device in the kit take into account the effect of pin depth on the device’s performance. Table 2-2 on page 2-4 lists the typical pin depths and measurement uncertainties, and provides observed pin depth limits for the devices in the kit. If the pin depth of a device does not measure within the observed pin depth limits, it may be an indication that the device fails to meet electrical specifications.

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Electrostatic Discharge Electrostatic Discharge Protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or cleaning connectors attached to a static-sensitive circuit (such as those found in test sets). Static electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive internal circuit elements when discharged.
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. One connection made with a dirty or damaged connector can damage both connectors beyond repair.
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Figure 3-2 Contact Integrity Concentricity Figure 3-3 Figure 3-4 show the concentricity of both the male and female 1.85 mm connectors. Inspect the connectors with a minimum magnification of 10X. Figure 3-3 Concentricity of a Female Connector Figure 3-4 Concentricity of a Male Connector...
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Inspect the Mating Plane Surfaces Flat contact between the connectors at all points on their mating plane surfaces is required for a good connection. See Figure 2-1 on page 2-3. Look especially for deep scratches or dents, and for dirt and metal particles on the connector mating plane surfaces.
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Cleaning Connectors Cleaning Connectors Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF and microwave coaxial connections. 1. Use Compressed Air or Nitrogen WARNING Always use protective eyewear when using compressed air or nitrogen. Use compressed air (or nitrogen) to loosen particles on the connector mating plane surfaces.
Page 45
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Cleaning Connectors page 2-3. When cleaning a female connector, avoid snagging the swab on the center conductor contact fingers by using short strokes. c. Let the alcohol evaporate, then blow the connector dry with a gentle stream of clean, low-pressure compressed air or nitrogen.
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 6-8 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...
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors When to Gage Connectors Gage a connector at the following times: • Prior to using a device for the first time: record the pin depth measurement so that it can be compared with future readings.
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Gaging Connectors Gaging Procedures Gaging Male 1.85 mm Connectors NOTE Always hold a connector gage by the gage barrel, below the dial indicator. This gives the best stability, and improves measurement accuracy. (Cradling the gage in your hand or holding it by the dial applies stress to the gage plunger mechanism through the dial indicator housing.) 1.

Table 3-1 provides information about the torque wrench recommended for use with this calibration kit. A torque wrench is not included in the 85058E (Economy) calibration kit. Refer to Table 6-3 on page 6-8 for part number and ordering information.
Page 53
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Connections 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).
Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Handling and Storage torque to the connection through the wrench. 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. 6.
