Economy calibration kits
Include the open circuit, short circuit, and fixed
termination standards but not sliding terminations
or gauges. Gauges can be ordered separately.
Waveguide calibration kits
Contain two coax-to-waveguide adapters with pre-
cision flanges, a flush short circuit, a precision
waveguide line section, and either sliding or fixed
terminations. They support calibration based on
TRL*, offset load, or short/offset-short/load/thru
methods.
Electronic calibration kits
Require an Agilent 85060C control unit for opera-
tion and Agilent 85060 series calibration modules
of the appropriate connector type. The calibration
modules is programmed by a control unit to pres-
ent many different impedances to the test ports. A
full two-port calibration can be done with a single
connection. Each standard calibration kit contains
the two-port calibration module and a torque
wrench for proper connection. Options are avail-
able to add a lowband module to the kit, and to
change the sex of the connectors of the module.
Verification kits
Measuring known devices, other than the stan-
dards used in calibration, is an easy way to verify
the correct operation of an Agilent 8719D/20D/22D
network analyzer system. Agilent offers the follow-
ing verification kits which contain precision
devices, with data traceable to NIST used to verify
the analyzer’s error-corrected measurement per-
formance.
• 85051B 7 mm verification kit; 0.045 to 18 GHz
• 85055A Type-N verification kit; 0.045 to 18 GHz
• 85053B 3.5 mm verification kit; 0.045 to 26.5 GHz
• 85057B 2.4 mm verification kit; 0.045 to 50 GHz
Test port return cables
Test port cables are available in the 7 mm, 3.5 mm,
Type-N, and 2.4 mm connectors types. All cables
connect directly to the special ruggedized test port
of the network analyzer test port (NMD connector).
Agilent offers the following cable choices:
• Single cables in semi-rigid and flexible
• Cable set in semi-rigid and flexible
A single long cable with an appropriate test port
adapter is best for applications where the test
device requires a connection next to the test port
for mechanical rigidity. A set of cables offers the
flexibility required to position the test devices
away from the test set.
Semi-rigid cables offer excellent performance and
are suitable for applications where the connectors
of the test device are “in-line” or parallel. Flexible
cables are ideal for manufacturing environments
since they are more rugged and have a tighter
bending radius than semi-rigid cables. Semi-rigid
cables are warranted for 90 days; flexible cables
are warranted for 1 year.
