General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Adapters
Like the other devices in the kit, the adapters are built to very tight tolerances to provide
good broadband performance. The adapters utilize a dual-beaded connector structure to
ensure stable, repeatable connections. The beads are designed to minimize return loss and
are separated far enough so that interaction between the beads is minimized.
The adapters are designed so that their nominal electrical lengths are the same, which
allows them to be used in calibration procedures for non-insertable devices.
Calibration Definitions
The calibration kit must be selected and the calibration definitions for the devices in the
kit installed in the network analyzer prior to performing a calibration. Refer to your
network analyzer user’s guide for instructions on selecting the calibration kit and
performing a calibration.
The calibration definitions can be:
• resident within the analyzer
• entered from the front panel
Installation of the Calibration Definitions
The calibration definitions for the kit may be permanently installed in the internal
memory or hard disk of the network analyzer.
If the calibration definitions for the kit are not permanently installed in the network
analyzer, they must be manually entered. Refer to your network analyzer user’s guide for
instructions.
Equipment Required but Not Supplied
Gages, torque and open-end wrenches, ESD protective devices, and various connector
cleaning supplies are not included in the calibration kit but are required to ensure
successful operation of the calibration kit. Refer to Table 6-3 on page 6-5 for ordering
