General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Calibration Kit Overview
The Agilent 85054B type-N calibration kit is used to calibrate Agilent network analyzers
up to 18 GHz for measurements of components with 50Ω type-N connectors.
The standards in this calibration kit allow you to perform simple 1- or 2-port and TRM
(thru–reflect–match) calibrations.
This manual describes the 85054B calibration kit and provides replacement part numbers,
specifications, and procedures for using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the kit.
Kit Contents
The 85054B calibration kit contains the following:
• offset opens and shorts, lowband and sliding load terminations
• four type-N to 7 mm adapters
• two type-N to type-N adapters
• a type-N connector gage set
• a 3/4 inch, 135 N-cm (12 in-lb) torque wrench for use on the type-N connectors
• a spanner wrench
• a data disk that contains the calibration definitions of the devices in the kit for 8510
systems and the 872x series
• a data disk that contains the calibration definitions of the devices in the kit for the PNA
series
Refer to Table 6-1 and Figure 6-1 for a complete list of kit contents and their associated
part numbers.
Offset Opens and Shorts
The offset opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined to the current
state-of-the-art in precision machining.
The offset short’s inner conductors have a one-piece construction, common with the
shorting plane. The construction provides for extremely repeatable connections.
The offset opens have inner conductors that are supported by a strong, 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. The lengths of the offsets in the opens and shorts
are designed so that the difference in phase of their reflection coefficients is approximately
180 degrees at all frequencies.
