General Information Calibration Kit Overview 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. The adapters are designed so that their nominal electrical lengths are the same, which allows t

General Information Incoming Inspection Incoming Inspection Verify that the shipment is complete by referring to Figure 6-1 or Figure 6-2. Check for damage. The foam-lined storage case provides protection during shipping. If the case or any device appears damaged, or if the shipment is incomplete, contact Agilent. See Table 5-1 on page 5-3. Agilent will arrange for repair or replacement of incomplete or damaged shipments without waiting for a settlement from the transportation company. When y

General Information Recording the Device Serial Numbers Recording the Device Serial Numbers In addition to the kit serial number, the devices in this kit are individually serialized (serial numbers are labeled onto the body of each device). Record these serial numbers in Table 1-1 for the 85032B and Table 1-2 for the 85032E. Recording the serial numbers will prevent confusing the devices in this kit with similar devices in other kits.

General Information Clarifying the Sex of a Connector Clarifying the Sex of a Connector In this manual, the sex of calibration devices and adapters are referred to in terms of their connector interface. For example, a male open has a male connector. However, during a measurement calibration, the network analyzer softkey menus label a type-N calibration device with reference to the sex of the analyzer’s test port connector—not the calibration device connector. For example, the label SHORT(F) o

Specifications Mechanical Characteristics Mechanical Characteristics Mechanical characteristics such as center conductor protrusion and pin depth are not performance specifications. They are, however, important supplemental characteristics related to electrical performance. Agilent Technologies verifies the mechanical characteristics of the devices in this kit with special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the device connectors do not exhibit any improper pin depth

Specifications Mechanical Characteristics NOTE The gages for measuring type-N connectors compensate for the designed offset of 5.26 mm (0.207 inch), therefore, protrusion and recession readings are in relation to a zero reference plane (as if the inner and outer conductor planes were intended to be flush). Gage readings can be directly compared with the observed values listed in Table 2-2. The pin depth value of each calibration device in this kit is not specified, but is an important mecha

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Electrostatic Discharge Electrostatic Discharge Protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) is essential while connecting, inspecting, or cleaning connectors attached to a static-sensitive circuit (such as those found in test sets). Static electricity can build up on your body and can easily damage sensitive internal circuit elements when discharged. Static discharges too small to be felt can cause permanent damage. Devices such as calibration

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Visual Inspection Visual inspection and, if necessary, cleaning should be done every time a connection is made. Metal particles from the connector threads may fall into the connector when it is disconnected. One connection made with a dirty or damaged connector can damage both connectors beyond repair. In some cases, magnification is necessary to see damage on a connector; a magnifying device with a magnification of ≥10× is recommen

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Cleaning Connectors Inspect Female Connectors Pay special attention to the contact fingers in the female center conductor. These can be bent or broken, and damage to them is not always easy to see. A connector with damaged contact fingers will negatively affect electrical performance and must be replaced. NOTE Inspection is particularly important when mating nonprecision to precision devices. Cleaning Connectors Clean connectors are essential for ens
