General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
GHz. The inner and outer conductors of the airline portion are precision machined to
state-of-the-art tolerances. Although the sliding load has exceptional return loss, its superior
load stability qualifies it as a high-performance device.
The sliding load was designed with the ability to extend the inner conductor for connection
purposes and then pull it back to a preset pin depth. This feature is critical since it minimizes
the possibility of damage during the connection, while maintaining a minimum pin depth to
optimize performance.
Adapters
Like the other devices in the kit, the adapters are built to very tight tolerances to provide good
broadband performance. The adapters utilize a dual-beaded connector structure to ensure
stable, repeatable connections. The beads are designed to minimize return loss and are
separated far enough so that interaction between the beads is minimized.
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. Refer to your network
analyzer user’s guide for instructions on selecting the calibration kit and performing a
calibration.
The calibration definitions can be:
• resident within the analyzer
• 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 recent class assignments and
standard definitions from Keysight’s Calibration Kit Definitions Web page at
www.na.support.keysight.com/pna/caldefs/stddefs.html .
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 Calibration Kit Definitions Web page at

Installation of the Calibration Definitions
The calibration definitions for the kit may be permanently installed in the internal memory or
hard disk of the network analyzer.
If the calibration definitions for the kit are not permanently installed in the network analyzer,
they must be manually entered. Refer to your network analyzer user’s guide for instructions.
