85059A 1.0 mm Calibration and Verification Kit 1-3
General Information
Achieving Specified Frequency Performance
Achieving Specified Frequency Performance
The standards in this calibration and verification kit allow you to perform
simple 1- or 2-port calibrations, as well as TRM (thru-reflect-match)
calibrations, and to verify the performance of your PNA system.
NOTE Above 50 GHz, offset shorts are substituted for the opens and loads.
NOTE For best results, before beginning calibration refer to “Clarifying Connector
Gender” on page 1-10 .

1. For best measurement results, the isolation standard should be the equivalent impedance of the device under test.
2. SOLT = Short, Open, Load and Thru standards
3. The broadband load is a combination of a lossy delay line plus a 50 GHz load (see Figures 1-1 and 1-2 on page 1-5 ).
4. Combinations of the calibration methods shown in the upper half of Table 1-1 are used to calibrate over the frequency ranges shown
in the lower half of the table.
