1 General Information

Verification Kit Overview

The Keysight 85053B 3.5 mm verification kit provides a set of standards with

known characteristics, traceable to a reference (golden) standard in Keysight

Technologies calibration lab. This set of standards is used to verify your

measurement calibration and also to verify that your network analyzer system

is operating within its specifications. The frequency range covered by the

85053B is from 300 kHz to 26.5 GHz.

Kit Contents

The 85053B verification kit includes the following items:

— 20 dB attenuator

— 40 dB attenuator

—25Ωmismatch airline

—50Ωairline

— User’s and Service Guide (this manual)

—Storagebox

— USB drive that contains factory-measured verification data for use with the

PNA system verification process

— Data sheet for each device that contains factory-measured verification data

— Anti-virus scan report

Refer to Chapter 6 for a complete list of replaceable part numbers.

IMPORTANT! Backup copies of the data sheets, anti-virus scan reports,

and the data on the USB drive should be made immediately upon receipt

of the verification kit.

A file containing the verification data for your kit is maintained for one year

from the time of measurement. If you lose this data, contact Keysight —

see “Contacting Keysight” on page 4 for a list of contacts.

General Information

Incoming Inspection

Calibration Definitions

The 85053B verification kit is intended to be used with the 85033E and 85052B

3.5 mm calibration kits. Prior to performing a calibration with your network

analyzer, the calibration kit must be selected and the calibration definitions for

the devices in the kit installed in the network analyzer. Refer to your PNA Help

system for instructions on selecting the calibration kit and performing a

calibration.

Installation of the Calibration Definitions

The calibration definitions for the kit should be permanently installed in the

internal memory or hard disk of the network analyzer. They may already be

resident within the analyzer, or you can download them from Keysight’s

Calibration Kit Definitions Web page at

http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/caldefs/stddefs.html. In addition, the

calibration definitions may be entered manually from the front panel. Refer to

your PNA Help system for instructions.

Equipment Required but Not Supplied

Some items are not supplied with the verification kit but are required to ensure

successful operation of the kit. Refer to Table 6-3, “Items Not Included in the

Verification Kit,” for a list of these items and for ordering information.

Options

The following option is available for the 85053B verification kit:

Option 910

This option adds an additional copy of the user’s and service guide (this

manual).

Incoming Inspection

Verify that the shipment is complete by referring to the contents list in the

shipping container.

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 4.

Keysight will arrange for repair or replacement of incomplete or damaged

shipments without waiting for a settlement from the transportation company.

Refer to “Returning a Kit or Device to Keysight” on page 4 for instructions.

General Information

Recording the Device Serial Numbers

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

serialized (serial numbers are labeled into 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.

General Information

Precision Slotless Connectors

The female 3.5 mm connectors in this verification 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 Keysight Technologies 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 50Ω

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.

85053B 1-5

General Information

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.

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

—propergaging

— proper connection techniques

All of these are described in Chapter 3. 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 specification (see Table 2-2 on

page 4), or from bad connection techniques, can also damage these devices.
