Chapter 1
General Information
CALIBRATION KIT OVERVIEW
The HP 85062A 3.5 mm Electronic Calibration Kit is designed to work with the HP 8506OC Electronic
Calibration (ECal) Control Unit to calibrate network analyzer systems (such as the HP 85 10) for measure-
ment of components with 3.5 mm connectors up to 26.5 GHz. See the Operating, Programming, and Ser-
vice Manual for the HP 8506OC control unit for specific network analyzer models.
The calibration kit consists of the following:
l A 1 to 26.5 GHz Calibration Module (Option 001 adds a 45 MHz to 2 GHz Calibration Module)
. A Specification / Verification Program Disk
l An Operating and Service Manual
l A 5116 inch, 90 N-cm (8 in-lb) torque wrench for use on the 3.5 mm connectors
l A Female-to-Female Adapter (not included with Option OOF or Option OOM)
l A Male-to-Male Adapter (not included with Option OOF or Option OOM)
This manual describes the HP 85062A Electronic Calibration Kit and provides replacement part numbers,
specifications, and procedures for using, maintaining, and troubleshooting the kit. The available calibra-
tion types, the best application for each type, and the associated calibration procedures are found in the
Operating, Programming, and Service Manual for the HP 8506OC control unit.
Note
This manual assumes you know proper connector care. If not, refer to
“Principles of Microwave Connector Care-Quick Reference Card”, located in the back of this manual.
Refer to Chapter 7, “Replaceable Parts”, for the HP part number if another copy is needed.
Or, contact your nearest HP sales office for the customer training course:
“Understanding Connectors Used With Network Analyzers”.
43P 8505OA + 24A (on-site)
4-J.P 8505OA + 24D (at HP sales office)
Available Options
l Option 001 adds a low band (45 MHz to 2 GHz) calibration module.
l Option OOM replaces the standard 3.5 mm insertable module with a non-insertable male module.
l Option OOF replaces the standard 3.5 mm insertable module with a non-insertable female module.
Options may be combined. For example, ordering Option 001 with Option OOF would provide both a high
band and a low band calibration module with non-insertable female connectors.
EQUIPMENT REQUIRED BUT NOT SUPPLIED
Connector gage sets are required for measuring connector pin depth. Gages and various connector cleaning
supplies are not provided in this kit. Refer to Chapter 7,
“Replaceable Parts”, for ordering information.

SERIAL NUMBERS
A serial number label is attached to this calibration kit. The serial number is in the form; 0000000000. The
)
first six digits form the serial number prefix (the first two digits are a country code, the next four are a year/
week designation). The last four digits form the suffix (a simple counting sequence).
The contents of this manual apply directly to calibration kits having the serial number prefix(es) listed un-
der SERIAL NUMBERS on the title page.
A typical serial number label is shown in Figure l-l.

In addition to the kit serial number, the calibration modules in the HP 85062A calibration kit are individ-
ually serialized. These serial numbers should be recorded in Table l-l when the kit is first received. The
purpose of this is to help maintain the integrity of your kit. Kit integrity is one important part of compliance
with U.S. MLSTD-45662A, should your compliance be required.

INCOMING INSPECTION
Refer to Figure 7-1, Figure 7-2, or Figure 7-3 (depending on your calibration kit options) to verify a com-
plete shipment. Record the serial numbers of all serialized devices in your kit using Table l-l. To verify
electrical performance of the devices in this kit, refer to Chapter 5, “Performance Verification.” The foam-
lined storage case provides protection during shipping. If the case or any device appears damaged, contact
the nearest Hewlett-Packard sales and service office (see inside the back cover of this manual). Hewlett-
Packard will arrange for repair or replacement of incomplete or damaged shipments without waiting for
settlement from the transportation company.
If the instrument is being returned to Hewlett-Packard for service, please include service information as
described in “Returning a Kit or Device to HP” in Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting” (attach to the instrument
if possible).
PREVENTWE MAINTENANCE
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in this kit include routine visual inspection
and cleaning, and proper gaging and connection techniques. Failure to detect and remove dirt or metallic
particles on a connector 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 lim-
its (see Table 2-2) or from using poor connection techniques can also damage these devices.
Visual inspection, cleaning and connection techniques, and proper gaging for pin depth are all described
in Chapter 4, “Preparation for Use - Gaging and Making Connections.”
