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 and to ensure stable, repeatable connections.
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 prior to performing a calibration. In addition, the
calibration definitions for the devices in the kit must be installed in the analyzer if not
permanently stored in the internal memory or hard drive.
The calibration definitions can be:
• recalled from the analyzer (if stored in internal memory or the hard drive)
• loaded from the provided disk
• entered from the front panel (polynomial models only)
Refer to your network analyzer user’s guide (8510 family) or online Help (PNA family) for
instructions on selecting the calibration kit, installing (if necessary) the calibration
definitions, and performing a calibration.
Equipment Required but Not Supplied
Some items are required or recommended for successful operation of your kit, but are not
supplied with the kit. Refer to
Table 6-2 on page 6-3 for a list of these items and for
ordering information.
