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.
Options
The following options are available for the Agilent 85032B/E.
Option 100 (85032B only) Option 100 adds the four type-N to 7-mm adapters to the
calibration kit.
Option 003 (85032B only) This option provides a limited calibration for the devices in
the calibration kit to 3 GHz instead of 6 GHz. This calibration option can be requested only
from an Agilent service center. It cannot be ordered from the factory.
Option UK6 This option adds a certificate of calibration and the corresponding
calibration data for the devices in the calibration kit.
Equipment Required but Not Supplied
Gages, torque and open-end wrenches, 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 information
