configuration for calibrating the PNA when measuring a 2-port DUT. For
information on more complex configurations, see the 855xxA/B Series CalPod
Information Web page at: http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/calpod.
The following items may be required, depending on your measurement hardware
configuration.
— RF Cables – required to connect each CalPod to a PNA port. CalPods work well
with cable losses (one- way loss from CalPod to PNA test port) up to 20 dB.
CalPods will also work with cable losses greater than 20 dB, but the recorrection
performance may be degraded. Consult the 855xxA/B Series CalPod Performance
Characteristics
http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/calpod/calpod_perf_char.pdf
— RF Adapters for the Device Under Test (DUT) – required if the DUT connectors
are not compatible with the CalPod RF2 (2.92 mm male) connector.
— Calibration Kit or ECal – compatible with DUT connectors.
— (Optional) CalPod Drive Cable Extensions – The standard CalPod drive cable is 2
meters in length. The 85554A CalPod drive cable extension provides an
additional 10 meter length. These CalPod drive cable extensions can be
cascaded.

module with 3.5 mm m-f connectors, the female connector on the ECal module
must be connected to each CalPod one-at-a-time. Follow the guided ECal
calibration procedure on the PNA. Avoid using adapters between the ECal module
and the CalPod connectors if possible.
