Notice
Hewlett-Packard to Agilent Technologies Transition
This documentation supports a product that previously shipped under the Hewlett-
Packard company brand name. The brand name has now been changed to Agilent
Technologies. The two products are functionally identical, only our name has changed. The
document still includes references to Hewlett-Packard products, some of which have been
transitioned to Agilent Technologies.

HP 85130F Adapter Kit
c
To obtain optimum performance from this adapter kit, observe these simple precautions:
l Make connections carefully to avoid misalignment and connector damage, which will result in
inaccurate measurements.
l Keep the connectors free of dirt and any particles.
l When you clean the connectors, try compressed air first. Do not use abrasives. With a clean foam
swab, apply only Freon TF as a solvent.
l For more information, refer to the Microwave Connector Care manual.
The HP 85130F adapter kit consists of two NMD-2.4 mm to 3.5 mm adapters and a spanner wrench.
The test set end of the adapters has a NMD-2.4 mm connector while the Device Under Test (DUT) end
has a precision connector. The NMD-2.4 mm to NMD-3.5 mm (m) adapter is used when a male test
port is required. The NMD-3.5 mm to PSC-3.5 (9 (precision slotless connector) adapter is used when a
female test port is required.
The HP 85130F kit contains the following:

Using an HP 8510 Network Analyzer perform the following test on your adapters as soon as you
receive them, and periodically repeat the test to determine if their performance meets the electrical
specifications stated above or if they need to be replaced. An initial period of one year between
performance tests is recommended.

Figure 1. Return Loss Set-up
Return loss is measured by connecting a 50.ohm fixed load termination through a 7.5 cm airline to the
adapter, then attaching the adapter to port one of the test set (see Figure 7).
The effects of an imperfect load may be gated out using the HP 8510 time domain option as follows:
1. Press [PRESET]. The HP 8510 will be set to a predetermined state.
2. Under STIMULUS, press [START] [4] [5] [M/p]. This sets the start frequency to 45 MHz.
3. Under STIMULUS, press [STOP] [2] [6] [.] [5] [G/n]. This sets the stop frequency to 26.5 GHz.
4. Perform a 2.4 mm one port sliding load Sll calibration with 32 averaging at port one of your test
set, as described in the HP 8510 Operating and Programming manual. Save the calibration. Set up
as shown in Figure 1.

Under RESPONSE, press [AUTO]. This brings the trace on screen.
9. Under the softkey functions, press [SPECIFY GATE]. A new menu should appear that will allow
you to press [STOP] softkey.
10. Using the RPG, adjust the stop gate to the center of the airline (see Figure 2).
11. Under the softkey functions press [GATE ON]. The HP 8510 will now compute the gate coeffi-
cients to gate out everything but the adapter.
12. Press the [PRIOR MENU] button just to the right of the softkeys and a new menu should appear
that will allow you to press the [FREQUENCY] softkey.
13. Under MENUS, press [MARKER]. This brings up a set of functions to the softkeys. Select [MORE]
[MAXIMUM] softkeys.
14. You can now read the return loss value from the screen marker value, and record the results on
the Performance Test Record provided.

Attach the adapters to the test ports and tighten them finger tight. Use the spanner wrench to hold the
test set end of the adapter and torque the test set connector with a 20 mm torque wrench set to 96 N-cm
(8 in-lb). Attach a non-rotating clamp to each test port.
