Calibration Kits Documented in This Manual
This manual applies to any 8552B calibration kit with serial number prefix 3106A. If your
calibration kit has a different serial number prefix, refer to the next section for
information on how this manual applies.
Calibration Kit History
This section describes calibration kits with serial number prefixes lower that the ones
listed on the title page.
85052D Kits with Serial Prefix 3027A
These calibration kits did not have the calibration constants disk to support the Agilent
8510C network analyzer. The part numbers provided in this manual are the recommended
replacement parts for these kits. The devices in these kits should meet the specifications
published in this manual.
Clarifying the Sex of a Connector
In this manual and in the prompts of the PNA calibration wizard, the sex of calibration
devices and adapters is referred to in terms of the calibration device connector. For
example, the label
OPEN
–m– refers to a male open with a male connector.
8510-series, 872x, and 875x ONLY: In contrast, during a measurement calibration, the
network analyzer softkey menus label a 1.85 mm calibration device with reference to the
sex of the analyzer’s test port connector—not the calibration device connector. For example,
the label
SHORT(F)
refers to the short that is to be connected to the female test port. This
will be a male short from the calibration kit.
Connector gages are referred to in terms of the connector that it measures. For instance, a
male connector gage has a female connector on the gage so that it can measure male
devices.
Preventive Maintenance
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in the kit include:
• routine visual inspection
• cleaning
• proper gaging
