General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Calibration Kit Overview
The Agilent 85036B and 85036E type-N calibration kits are used to calibrate Agilent
network analyzers up to 3 GHz for measurements of components with 75Ω type-N
connectors.
Kit Contents
The 85036B calibration kit contains the following:
• one male and one female 75Ω type-N open termination
• one male and one female 75Ω type-N short termination
• one male and one female 75Ω type-N load
• three 75Ω type-N to 75Ω type-N adapters
Refer to Table 6-1 and Figure 6-1 for a complete list of kit contents and their associated
part numbers.
The 85036E calibration kit contains the following:
• one male combination open/short termination
• one male 75Ω type-N load
Refer to Table 6-2 and Figure 6-2 for a complete list of kit contents and their associated
part numbers.
Broadband Loads
The broadband loads are instrument-grade, 75Ω terminations that have been optimized for
performance up to 3 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.
