Introduction
This manual provides description and maintenance instructions for models 36585K (70 kHz to 40 kHz) and
36585V (70 kHz to 70 GHz) 2-Port AutoCal Calibration Kits. Part numbers and connector options are shown in

Purpose
The calibration kits contain all of the precision components and tools required to calibrate an Anritsu Vector
Network Analyzer System for a 12-term error-corrected measurement.
AutoCal has been characterized by Anritsu and the characterization file is included for use by the host VNA. It
is valid for 1 year from time of shipment. The characterization cycle for the 36585-Series AutoCal is 12 months
assuming proper use and care of the module and its connectors.
AutoCal can be characterized using the MS4640x Series VNA, following the instructions in the VNA Operation
Manual. However, Anritsu can only guarantee meeting its published specifications with Anritsu-characterized
AutoCals.
