Calibration Kit Overview

Figure 1-2 85563A 3-in-1 (female) and 85564A 3-in-1 (male) calibration kits

The 85563A 3-in-1 calibration kit includes the following items:

— offset open and short (female)

— broadband termination (female)

The 85564A 3-in-1 calibration kit includes the following items:

— offset open and short (male)

— broadband termination (male)

Refer to Chapter 6, “Replaceable Parts,” for a complete list of kit contents and

their associated part numbers.

Adapters

Like the other devices in the kit, the adapters are built to very tight tolerances

to provide good broadband performance and to ensure stable, repeatable

connections.

The adapters are designed so that their nominal electrical lengths are the

same, allowing them to be used in calibration procedures for non-insertable

devices.

Broadband Loads

The broadband loads are metrology-grade, 50Ωterminations that have been

optimized for performance up to 50 GHz. The rugged internal structure

provides for highly repeatable connections. A distributed resistive element on

sapphire provides excellent stability and return loss.

85563A and 85564A are mostly subsets of the 85056D calibration kit.

85563A and 85564A contain a single sex connector (i.e., female only or

male only). Also, while adapters are standard with the 85056D, they are

optional on the 85563A and 85564A.

The open and shorts are identical in the kits. For example, the open female

standard in the 85056D is the same open that is included in the 85563A.

The load standards are different parts that have the same electrical

performance.

Keysight 85056D and 85563A/85564A User’s and Service Guide 1-3

General Information

Calibration Kit Overview

Offset Opens and Shorts

The offset opens and shorts are built from parts that are machined to the

current state-of-the-art in 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.

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

— 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 Keysight’s Calibration

Kit Definitions Web page at

http://na.support.keysight.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.

Equipment Required but Not Supplied

Connector cleaning supplies and various electrostatic discharge (ESD)

protection devices are not supplied with the calibration kit but are required to

ensure successful operation of the kit. Refer to Table 6-2 on page 2 for

ordering information.

General Information

Incoming Inspection

Verify that the shipment is complete by referring to Table 6-1.

Check for damage. The foam-lined storage case provides protection during

shipping. Verify that this case and its contents are not damaged.

If the case or any device appears damaged, or if the shipment is incomplete,

contact Keysight Technologies. See “Contacting Keysight” on page 5-5.

Keysight will arrange for repair or replacement of incomplete or damaged

shipments without waiting for a settlement from the transportation company.

When you send the kit or device to Keysight, include a service tag (found near

the end of this manual) with the following information:

— your company name and address

— the name of a technical contact person within your company, and the

person's complete phone number

— the model number and serial number of the kit

— the part number and serial number of the device

— the type of service required

—adetailed description of the problem

General Information

Recording the Device Serial Numbers

In addition to the kit serial number, the devices in the kit are individually

serialized (serial numbers are labeled onto the body of each device). Record

these serial numbers in

Table 1-1. Recording the serial numbers will prevent confusing the devices in

this kit with similar devices from other kits.

The adapters included in the kit are for measurement convenience only and are

not serialized.

85563A and 85564A parts are serialized at the calibration kit level only.

General Information

Precision Slotless Connectors

The female connectors in this calibration kit are metrology-grade, precision

slotless connectors (PSC). A characteristic of metrology-grade connectors is

direct traceability to national measurement standards through their

well-defined mechanical dimensions.

Conventional female center conductors are slotted. When mated, the female

center conductor is flared by the male pin. Because physical dimensions

determine connector impedance, electrical characteristics of the female

connector (and connection pair) are dependent upon the mechanical

dimensions of the male pin. While connectors are used in pairs, their male and

female halves are always specified separately as part of a standard, instrument,

or device under test. Because of these facts, making precision measurements

with the conventional slotted connector is very difficult, and establishing a

direct traceability path to primary dimensional standards is nearly impossible.

The precision slotless connector was developed to eliminate these problems.

All PSCs are female. A PSC incorporates a center conductor with a solid

cylindrical shell that defines the outside diameter of the female center pin. Its

outside diameter and, therefore, the impedance in its region does not change.

The inner part provides an internal contact that flexes to accept the allowed

range of male pin diameters.

The calibration of a network analyzer having a conventional slotted female

connector on the test port remains valid only when the device under test and

all calibration standards have identical male pin diameters. For this reason PSC

test port adapters are supplied in most calibration kits.

Precision slotless connectors have the following characteristics:

— There is no loss of traceable calibration on test ports when the male pin

diameter of the connector on the device under test is different from the

male pin diameter of the calibration standard.

— The female PSC and its mating male connector can be measured and

specified separately as part of the device either is attached to.

— All female connectors can have a known, stable impedance based only on

the diameters of their inner and outer conductors.

— Female calibration standards can be fully specified. Their specifications and

traceability are unaffected by the diameter of the male mating pin.

— A fully traceable performance verification is made using a precision 50 ohm

airline having a PSC.

— Measurement repeatability is enhanced due to non-changing connector

characteristics with various pin diameters.

With PSCs on test ports and standards, the percentage of accuracy achieved

when measuring at 50 dB return loss levels is comparable to using

conventional slotted connectors measuring devices having only 30 dB return

loss. This represents an accuracy improvement of about 10 times.
