VERIFICATION KITS CONTENTS OPERATION Each verification kit consists of three standards, each are supplied with S-parameter data. Each standard verifies a primary S-parameter, as follows: 20 dB Attenuator — S Magnitude and Phase 50 dB Attenuator — S Magnitude and Phase Mismatch Attenuator —...
The procedure is provided on floppy disk. The program is titled ANRITSU 2300-354 Vector Network Measurerment System Perfor- mance Verification, and is provided with a User’s Guide, Anritsu Part Number 10410-00216. This User’s Guide and its program diskette are included at the end of this manual.
PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION VERIFICATION (AUTOMATED) KITS VERIFICATION PROCESS Verification is a straightforward process intended to show that a vec- tor network measurement system (VNMS) is performing to specifica- tion. It can usually be accomplished in less than an hour, after waiting out the typical one-hour warm-up period.
VERIFICATION PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION KITS (AUTOMATED) Preview the Display When running the verification software, there is a step that requires the VNMS to be calibrated. This step places the VNMS in LOCAL (Manual) control and the program waits for the operator to press the Enter key.

Pin Depth Before mating, measure the pin depth (Figure 3-1) of the device that will mate with the RF component, using a ANRITSU Pin Depth Gauge or equivalent (Figure 3-2). Based on RF components returned for re- pair, destructive pin depth of mating connectors is the major cause of failure in the field.
While this will not cause any damage, it will result in a poor connection and a consequent degradation in performance. Table 3-1. Pin Dept Tolerances Port/Connector Type Pin Depth (mils) ANRITSU Gauge Setting GPC 7 +0.000 Same as pin depth –0.0015 N Male +0.000...
VERIFICATION CLEANING KITS INSTRUCTIONS Over Torquing Over torquing connectors is destructive; it may damage the connector Connectors center pin. Finger-tight is usually sufficient, especially on Type N con- nectors. Never use pliers to tighten connectors. Teflon Tuning The center conductor on most RF components contains a small teflon Washers tuning washer located near the point of mating (interface).

CLEANING VERIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS KITS NOTE Most cotton swabs are too large to fit in the smaller con- nector types. It is necessary to peal off most of the cotton and then twist the remaining cotton tight. Be sure that the remaining cotton does not get stuck in the connector.
Page 21
VERIFICATION KITS Do NOT use Industrial Solvents or Water on connector. Use only Denatured Alcohol. Use only denatured alcohol and the proper size of cotton swab. Gently rotate the swab around the center pin being careful not to stress or bend the pin or you will damage the connector.
