General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Calibration Kit Overview
The Keysight 85054B type-N calibration kit is used to calibrate Keysight network analyzers up
to 18 GHz for measurements of components with 50  type-N connectors.
The standards in this calibration kit allow you to perform simple 1- or 2-port and TRM
(thru–reflect–match) calibrations.
This manual describes the 85054B calibration kit and provides replacement part numbers,
specifications, and procedures for using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the kit.
Kit Contents
The 85054B calibration kit contains the following:
• offset opens and shorts, and lowband and sliding load terminations
• four type-N to 7 mm adapters
• two type-N to type-N adapters
• a type-N connector gage set
• a 3/4 inch, 135 N-cm (12 in-lb) torque wrench for use on the type-N connectors
• a spanner wrench
Refer to
Table 6-1 , Figure 6-1 , and Figure 6-2 for a complete list of kit contents and their
associated part numbers.
Offset Opens and Shorts
The offset opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined to the current
state-of-the-art in precision machining.
The offset short’s inner conductors have a one-piece construction, common with the shorting
plane. The construction provides for extremely repeatable connections.
The offset opens have inner conductors that are supported by a strong, low-dielectric
 constant
plastic to minimize compensation values.
Both the opens and shorts are constructed so that the pin depth can be controlled very tightly,
thereby minimizing phase errors. The lengths of the offsets in the opens and shorts are
designed so that the difference in phase of their reflection coefficients is approximately 180
degrees at all frequencies.
Lowband Loads
The lowband loads are metrology-grade, 50 ohm terminations which have been optimized for
lowband performance up to 2 GHz. The rugged internal structure provides for highly repeatable
connections. A distributed resistive element on sapphire provides excellent stability and return
loss.
Sliding Loads
The sliding loads in this kit are designed to provide excellent performance from 3 GHz to 18
