General Information
Calibration and
Verification Kit
Overview
The 85059A 1.0 mm precision calibration and verification kit is used to calibrate
and verify your PNA series network analyzer system. This kit is used for the
measurement of components with 50
Ω,
1.0 mm connectors with a frequency
range of DC to 110 GHz.
Because it is physically impossible to construct a slotless version of the
1.0 mm female contact, the female devices in this kit use slotted contacts. The
slotted female contact does not have the same electrical characteristics as a
solid conductor, and therefore, the male and female devices in this kit have
different coefficients.
Although the male and female devices are designed to have the same
mechanical length, their electrical delays are different. This reflects the
differences in the connector interface compression. When the male and female
devices are torqued together the male side compresses more than the female
side.
The 1.0 mm connector utilizes an air dielectric interface for the highest
accuracy and repeatability. The coupling diameter and thread size were chosen
to maximize strength, increase durability and provide highly repeatable
connections. The connectors are designed so that the outer conductors
engage before the center conductors.
To obtain the best performance possible, the manufacturing tolerances of
the connectors are tighter than the standard 1.0 mm specifications per the IEEE
287 precision connector standard.
The verification kit provides a set of standards with known characteristics,
traceable to primary standards in the Keysight Technologies calibration lab.
This set of standards is used to verify your measurement calibration and also to
verify that your PNA system is operating within its specifications. The kit
includes the following verification items:
• Mismatched thru adapter
• Matched thru adapter
• USB drive that contains factory-measured verification data
• Data sheet for each device that contains factory-measured verification data
• Anti-virus scan report
