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 measure­ment of components with 3.5 mm connectors up to 26.5 GHz. See the Operating, Programming, and Ser­vice 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

l

An Operating and Service Manual

l

A 5116 inch, 90

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)

Verification Program Disk

N-cm (8

in-lb) torque wrench for use on the 3.5 mm connectors

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 calibra­tion 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.

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.

Note

Or, contact your nearest HP sales office for the customer training course:
“Understanding Connectors Used With Network Analyzers”.

+ 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,

HP 85062A

“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.

INCOMING INSPECTION

Refer to Figure 7-1, Figure 7-2, or Figure 7-3 (depending on your calibration
plete shipment. Record the serial numbers of all serialized devices in your
electrical performance

of

the devices in this

kit,

refer to Chapter 5, “Performance Verification.” The foam-

kit

kit

using Table l-l. To verify

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). Hewlett­Packard 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.”

Definitions

Specifications and Characteristics

The definitions explained here help to clarify the terms used in the remainder of this chapter. These defi­nitions refer to the HP 85062A 3.5 mm Electronic Calibration Kit only and are not necessarily valid defi­nitions for other HP products.

Operating Temperature Range.

This is the temperature range over which the calibration standards main-

tain performance to their specifications.

Accuracy-Enhanced Temperature Range.

This is the allowable network analyzer ambient temperature
drift during measurement calibration and during measurements when the network analyzer correction is
turned on. It is also the range over which the network analyzer maintains its specified performance while
correction is turned on.

If

this temperature range is exceeded, the accuracy-enhanced performance of the

network analyzer will be degraded.

Measurement Calibration.

This is the calibration performed to determine the corrections necessary for

accuracy-enhanced (correction on) measurements.

Connector Pin Depth VaZues.

Refer to Figure

2-l

and Table 2-2. Pin depth is a relative measurement be-

tween the center conductor and outer conductor mating surfaces. All references to pin depth in this manual

treat positive (+) values as protrusions, and negative (-) values as recessions.

References to Connector Sex

In this manual, adapters, calibration modules, and gage masters are referred to by the sex of their connec­tor. For example, a male adapter has a male connector. A gage is referred to by the sex of the connector
that

it

measures. For example, a male gage

measures

male connectors; a male gage has a female connector.

Limits

Temperature of the calibration modules is important because device dimensions (and therefore electrical
characteristics) change with temperature. The temperature of the calibration devices and all connectors
must be stable before use and within the operating limits shown above.

A measurement calibration of the network analyzer can be made at any temperature within the operating
temperature range

of

the calibration kit. The measurement calibration temperature of the

network

analyzer
must be maintained within the error corrected temperature range of the network analyzer. The error cor­rected operating temperature range for most HP network analyzers is the initial measurement calibration
temperature &l “C (21.8 “F). See the appropriate network analyzer User’s Manual.

Measurement calibration, performance verification, and actual device measurements must be made within
the error corrected operating temperature range specification of the network analyzer. Part

of

the error cor­rected operating temperature range can fall outside of the calibration temperature window. For example,
if

measurement calibration is performed at +20 “C (+68 “F), verification and measurements must be made

between t-19 “C (+66.2 OF) and +21 “C (+69.8 “F). Also,

if

the network analyzer ambient operating tem­perature drift exceeds the allowable error corrected temperature range, a new measurement calibration
must be performed to assure optimum accuracy.

Remember that your fingers are a heat source, so avoid handling the devices unnecessarily during calibra­tion.
