General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Calibration Kit Overview
This waveguide calibration kit is used to calibrate network analyzer systems (such as the Keysight 8510,
872x, or PNA series). With the calibration data properly loaded in the network analyzer and a measurement
calibration completed, systematic errors are minimized.
Kit Contents
Use the Contents List in the shipping container to verify the completeness of your shipment. Although this
list is the most accurate, you can also use the illustrations in Chapter 7 to verify the items in your shipment.
If your shipment is not complete, contact Keysight Technologies - refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page
6-4 .
The standards in this calibration kit allow you to perform simple 1- or 2-port and TRM (thru-reflect-match)
calibrations.
For your convenience, two different lengths of screws are provided in this kit. While you can use the long
screws for any connection, the shorter screws provide a faster connection for two-flange connections.
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.
The calibration definitions can be:
• resident within the analyzer
• manually entered from the front panel
Class assignments and standard definitions may change as more accurate model and calibration methods
are developed. You can download the most accurate class assignments and standard definitions from
Keysight’s Calibration Kit Definitions Web page at
http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/caldefs/stddefs.html .
Refer to your network analyzer user’s guide or embedded Help for instructions on manually entering
calibration definitions, selecting the calibration kit, and performing a calibration.
NOTE The 8510 network analyzer is no longer being sold or supported by Keysight. However, you
can download the 8510 class assignments and standard definitions from Keysight’s
