Calibration Kit Overview
The Agilent 85032B and 85032E type-N calibration kits are used to calibrate Agilent
network analyzers up to 6 GHz for measurements of components with 50 type-N
connectors.
Kit Contents
The 85032B calibration kit contains the following:
• one male and one female open termination
• one male and one female short termination
• one male and one female 50 load
• two type-N-male to 7-mm adapters (included with Option 100)
• two type-N-female to 7-mm adapters (included with Option 100)
Refer to
Table 6-1
and
part numbers.
The 85032E calibration kit contains the following:
• one male combination open/short termination
• one male 50
load
Refer to
Table 6-2
and
part numbers.
Broadband Loads
The broadband loads are instrument-grade, 50 terminations that have been optimized for
performance up to 6 GHz. The rugged internal structure provides for highly repeatable
connections. A distributed resistive element on sapphire provides excellent stability and
return loss.
Opens and Shorts
The opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined to the current state-of the-art
precision machining.
The short's inner conductors have a one-piece construction, common with the shorting
plane. This construction provides for extremely repeatable connections.
The female open has a separate-piece inner conductor that is made from a
low-dielectric-constant plastic to minimize compensation values.
Both the opens and shorts are constructed so that the pin depth can be controlled very
tightly, thereby minimizing phase errors. Some of the opens and shorts have offsets. The
lengths of these offsets are designed so that the difference in phase of their reflection
coefficients is approximately 180 degrees at all frequencies.
