Agilent 8510C accessories
A wide range of accessories support the 8510C
network analyzer including calibration kits, verification
kits, cables and adapters in 7 mm, 3.5 mm, 2.92 mm.
Type-N, 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm and 1.0 mm coax and in the
standard waveguide bands. The standards used in the
3.5 mm, Type-N, and 2.4 mm calibration and verification
kits use precision slotless connectors
1 (PSC-3.5, PSC-N,
and PSC-2.4).
Calibration kits
Before a network analyzer can make error-corrected mea-
surements, the network analyzer’s systematic errors must
be measured and removed. Calibration is the process of
quantifying these errors by measuring “known”, or preci-
sion standards. The calibration kits listed below contain
the precision mechanical standards required to calibrate
an 8510 system. For calibrating an 8510 system in the 7
mm, 3.5 mm, 2.92 mm, Type-N, 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, or 1.0
mm interface, mechanical calibration kits all contain the
following:
• Calibration standards to perform full-two port
calibration
• Torque wrenches for properly connecting the standards
• Adapters to change the sex of the test port
• A disk for loading the standard definitions into the
network analyzer. Option 002
2 provides calibration
standard definitions on magnetic tape for use with
the 8510A/B.
Calibration kits
Three classes of mechanical calibration kits are available:
Standard kits contain open circuits, short circuits, and
both fixed and sliding terminations in both sexes for all
connector types (except 7 mm, a sexless connector).
Connector gauges are included in these kits for maintain-
ing each standard’s connector interface.
Precision kits have precision 50
Ω airline(s) for
performing the Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) calibration 2 ,
the most accurate error-correction technique for coaxial
measurements. These kits also contain the open circuit,
short circuit, and fixed terminations used for traditional
open-short-load calibration techniques. All precision kits
except the 85052C and 85059A include gauges.
All waveguide calibration kits are precision kits and
support TRL calibration in their waveguide band. Most
kits contain two straight waveguide sections with precision
flanges, a flush short circuit, a precision waveguide line
section, and either sliding or fixed terminations.
Economy kits include the open circuit, short circuit, and
fixed termination standards but not sliding terminations or
gauges. Gauges can be ordered separately.

1. Precision slotless connectors provide greater accuracy and repeatability than standard connectors because the
impedance does not change when it is connected to a device.
2. Not available with the 85059A calibration kit
