Product Overview
The Keysight 909A and 909D terminations are low-
reflection loads for terminating 50Ωcoaxial systems in their
characteristic impedance. The Keysight 909A is extremely
broadband, covering the frequency range from DC to 18GHz.
The Keysight 909D is specified to 26.5GHz, and mode free to
34GHZ. Both terminations find wide use as accessories for
broadband measuring instrument and for coaxial
instrumentation.
909A Coaxial Termination
The Keysight 909A is furnished with a Precision 7mm
connector. This is a sexless connector with low RF leakage and
clearly defined reference plane. As an option, the Keysight 909A
can be furnished with either male or female Type-N connector
interfaces per IEEE standard 287 GPC. The outer conductors of
these Type-N interfaces are made of passivated stainless steel.

Installation
Initial Inspection
1Unpack and inspect the shipping container and its contents
thoroughly to ensure that nothing was damaged during
shipment. If the shipping container or cushioning material is
damaged, the contents should be checked both mechanically
and electrically.
2If the contents are incomplete, if there is mechanical damage
or defect, or if the instrument does not pass the electrical
performance test, contact the nearest Keysight Technologies
Sales and Service office. Refer to the Service and Support
information in the front matter of this manual. Keysight
Technologies will arrange for repair or replacement of the
damaged or defective equipment. Keep the shipping
materials for the carrier’s inspection.
3If you are returning the instrument under warranty or for
service, repackaging the instrument requires original
shipping containers and materials or their equivalents.
Keysight Technologies can provide packaging materials
identical to the original materials. Refer to Service and
Support information in the front matter of this manual for
the Keysight Technologies nearest to you. Attach a tag
indicating the type of service required, return address, model
number, and serial number. Mark the container FRAGILE to
insure careful handling. In any correspondence, refer to the
instrument by model number and serial number.

Service Instructions
Adjustment
The coaxial terminations does not have internal adjustments
and should not be opened.
Repair
The coaxial terminations are not recommended for repair. In
case your coaxial terminations require repair services, please
contact your nearest Keysight Sales and Service Center.
Maintenance
The connectors, particularly the connector faces, must be kept
clean. Keysight recommends that the connectors be periodically
inspected and cleaned if necessary.
Cleaning Connectors
Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF
and microwave coaxial connectors.
1Use Compressed Air or Nitrogen
Use compressed air (or nitrogen) to loosen particles on the
connector mating plane surfaces.
WARNING Always use protective eyewear when using compressed air or
nitrogen.

18 Keysight 909A/D Coaxial Terminations Operating and Service Manual
You can use any source of clean, dry, low-pressure
compressed air or nitrogen that has an effective oil-vapor
filter and liquid condensation trap placed just before the
outlet hose.
Ground the hose nozzle to prevent electrostatic discharge,
and set the air pressure to less than 414kPa (60psi) to
control the velocity of the air stream. High-velocity streams
of compressed air can cause electrostatic effects when
directed into a connector. These electrostatic effects can
damage the device.
2Clean the Connector Threads
Use a lint-free swab or cleaning cloth moistened with
isopropyl alcohol to remove any dirt or stubborn
contaminants on a connector that cannot be removed with
compressed air or nitrogen.
aApply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free
cleaning swab.
bClean the connector threads.
cLet the alcohol evaporate, then blow the threads dry with
a gentle stream of clean, low-pressure compressed air or
nitrogen. Always completely dry a connector before you
reassemble or use it.
WARNING Keep isopropyl alcohol away from heat, sparks and flame. Store in a
tightly closed container. It is extremely flammable. In case of fire,
use alcohol foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide; water may be
ineffective.
Use isopropyl alcohol with adequate ventilation and avoid contact
with eyes, skin and clothing. It causes skin irritation, may cause eye
damage and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. It may be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
In case of spill, soak up with sand or earth. Flush spill are with
water.
Dispose of isopropyl alcohol in accordance with all applicable
federal, state and local environmental regulations.
