General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Calibration Kit Overview
The Agilent 85032F type-N 50 Ω calibration kit is used to calibrate Agilent network
analyzer systems for measurements of components with type-N connectors up to 9 GHz.
The standards in this calibration kit allow you to perform simple 1- or 2-port calibrations.
This manual describes the 85032F calibration kit and provides replacement part numbers,
specifications, and procedures for using, maintaining and troubleshooting the kit.
NOTE This manual assumes you practice proper connector care. For information,
refer to Chapter 3,“Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices.” Also refer to
the “Connector Care – Quick Reference Card,” located in the back of this
manual.
Kit Contents
The 85032F type-N calibration kit contains the following:
• offset opens and shorts, and broadband load terminations with both male and female
connectors
• a disk that contains the calibration definitions of the devices in the kit for 872x and
875x VNA systems
Broadband Loads
The broadband loads are metrology-grade, 50 Ω terminations that have been optimized for
performance up to 9 GHz. The rugged internal structure provides for highly repeatable
connections. A distributed resistive element on sapphire provides excellent stability and
return loss.
Offset Opens and Shorts
The offset opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined to the current
state-of-the-art precision machining.
The offset short’s inner conductors have a one-piece construction, common with the
shorting plane. The construction provides for extremely repeatable connections.
The offset opens have inner conductors that are supported by a strong,
low-dielectric-constant plastic to minimize compensation values.
Both the opens and shorts are constructed so that the pin depth can be controlled very
tightly, thereby minimizing phase errors. The lengths of the offsets in the opens and shorts
are designed so that the difference in phase of their reflection coefficients is approximately
180 degrees at all frequencies.

General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
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
• loaded from the provided disk
• 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 Agilent’s Calibration Kit Definitions Web page at
www.na.tm.agilent.com/pna/caldefs/stddefs.html.
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.

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). For your convenience, the
following table is provided for you to record these serial numbers. Recording the serial
numbers will prevent you from confusing the devices with similar devices.
Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface
In this document and in the prompts of the PNA calibration wizard, the gender of cable
connectors and adapters is referred to in terms of the center conductor. For example, a
connector or device designated as 1.85 mm –f– has a 1.85 mm female center conductor.
8510-series, 872x, and 875x ONLY: In contrast, during a measurement calibration, the
network analyzer softkey menus label a 1.85 mm 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) refers to the short that is to be connected to the female test

port. This will be a male short from the calibration kit.
A connector gage is referred to in terms of the connector that it measures. For instance, a
male connector gage has a female connector on the gage so that it can measure male
devices.
Preventive Maintenance
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in this kit include:
• routine visual inspection
• cleaning
• proper gaging
• proper connection techniques
All of these are described in Chapter 3,“Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices.”
Failure to detect and remove dirt or metallic particles on a mating plane surface can
degrade repeatability and accuracy, and can damage any connector mated to it.
Improper connections, resulting from pin depth values being out of the observed limits (see
Table 2-3 on page 2-4), or from poor connection techniques, can also damage these devices.

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 center conductor
protrusion or improper pin depth when the kit leaves the factory.
“Gaging Connectors” on page 3-7 explains how to use gages to determine if the kit devices
have maintained their mechanical integrity. (Refer to Table 2-3 on page 2-4 for typical and
observed pin depth limits).
Pin Depth
Pin depth is the distance the center conductor mating plane differs from being flush with
the outer conductor mating plane. See Figure 2-1. Some coaxial connectors (such as
2.4 mm and 3.5 mm) are designed to have these planes nearly flush. Type-N connectors,
however, are designed with a pin depth offset of approximately 5.26 mm (0.207 inch), not
permitting these planes to be flush. The male center conductors are recessed by the offset
value while the female center conductors compensate by protruding the same amount.
This offset necessitates redefining of pin depth with regard to protrusion and recession.
Protrusion refers to a male type-N connector center conductor having a pin depth value
less than 5.26 mm (0.207 inch), or female type-N connector center conductor having a pin
depth value greater that 5.26 (0.207 inch).
Recession refers to a male type-N connector center conductor having a pin depth value
greater than 5.26 mm (0.207 inch), or female type-N connector center conductor having a
pin depth value less than 5.26 (0.207 inch).
The pin depth value of each calibration device in this kit is not specified, but is an
important mechanical parameter. The electrical performance of the device depends, to
some extent, on its pin depth. The electrical specifications for each device in this kit take
into account the effect of pin depth on the device’s performance. Table 2-3 lists the typical
pin depths and measurement uncertainties, and provides observed pin depth limits for the
devices in the kit. If the pin depth of a device does not measure within the observed pin
depth limits, it may be an indication that the device fails to meet electrical specifications.
Refer to Figure 2-1 for a visual representation of proper pin depth in type-N connectors.

Specifications
Mechanical Characteristics
NOTE The gages intended for measuring the type-N connectors compensate for the
designed offset of 5.26 mm (0.207 inch). Therefore, protrusion and recession
readings will be 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 2-3.
Figure 2-1 Connector Pin Depth
NOTE When measuring pin depth, the measured value (resultant average of three
or more measurements) is not the true value. Always compare the measured
value with the observed pin depth limits in Table 2-3 to evaluate the condition
of device connectors.

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Electrostatic Discharge
Electrostatic Discharge
Protection against electrostatic discharge (ESD) 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 components and devices under test
(DUTs), can also carry an electrostatic charge. To prevent damage to the test set,
components and devices:
•always wear a grounded wrist strap having a 1 MΩresistor in series with it when
handling components and devices or when making connections to the test set.
•always have a grounded antistatic mat in front of your test equipment.
•always wear a heel strap when working in an area with a conductive floor.
•always ground yourself before you clean, inspect, or make a connection to a
static-sensitive device or test port. You can, for example, grasp the grounded outer shell
of the test port or cable connector briefly.
•always ground the center conductor of a test cable before making a connection to the
analyzer test port or other static-sensitive device. This can be done as follows:
1. Connect a short (from your calibration kit) to one end of the cable to short the center
conductor to the outer conductor.
2. While wearing a grounded wrist strap, grasp the outer shell of the cable connector.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the test port.
4. Remove the short from the cable.
Refer to Chapter 6, “Replaceable Parts,” for ordering ESD protection supplies.
