General Information Calibration Kit Overview Adapters Like the other devices in the kit, the adapters are built to very tight tolerances to provide good broadband performance. The adapters utilize a dual-beaded connector structure to ensure stable, repeatable connections. The beads are designed to minimize return loss and are separated far enough so that interaction between the beads is minimized. The adapters are designed so that their nominal electrical lengths are the same, which allows t

General Information Recording the Device Serial Numbers 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). Record these serial numbers in Table 1-1 for the 85036B and Table 1-2 for the 85036E. Recording the serial numbers will prevent confusing the devices in this kit with similar devices in other kits.

General Information Clarifying the Sex of a Connector Clarifying the Sex of a Connector In this manual, the sex of calibration devices and adapters are referred to in terms of their connector interface. For example, a male open has a male connector. However, during a measurement calibration, the network analyzer softkey menus label a type-N 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) o

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Electrostatic Discharge Electrostatic Discharge Protection against ESD (electrostatic discharge) 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

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Visual Inspection Visual Inspection Visual inspection and, if necessary, cleaning should be done every time a connection is made. Metal particles from the connector threads may fall into the connector when it is disconnected. One connection made with a dirty or damaged connector can damage both connectors beyond repair. In some cases, magnification is necessary to see damage on a connector; a magnifying device with a magnification of ≥10× is recommen

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices Cleaning Connectors Inspect the Precision Slotless Connectors (female) Precision slotless female connectors are used to improve accuracy. The slotless contacts are not affected by the slight variations in male contact pin diameter. However, it is still advisable to inspect them regularly for damage. NOTE Inspection is particularly important when mating nonprecision to precision devices. Cleaning Connectors Clean connectors are essential for ensuring
