General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Calibration Kit Overview
The 85059B 1.0 mm precision calibration kit is used to calibrate your PNA
series network analyzer system. This kit is used for the measurement of
components with 50
120 GHz.
Because it is physically impossible to construct a slotless version of the 1.0 mm
female contact, the female devices in this kit use slotted contacts. The slotted
female contact does not have the same electrical characteristics as a solid
conductor, and therefore, the male and female devices in this kit have different
models.
Although the male and female devices are designed to have the same
mechanical length, their electrical delays are different. This reflects the
differences in the connector interface compression. When the male and female
devices are torqued together the male side compresses more than the female
side.
The 1.0 mm connector utilizes an air dielectric interface for the highest
accuracy and repeatability. The coupling diameter and thread size were chosen
to maximize strength, increase durability and provide highly repeatable
connections. The connectors are designed so that the outer conductors
engage before the center conductors.
Ω, 1.0 mm connectors with a frequency range of DC to
To obtain the best performance possible, the manufacturing tolerances of the
connectors are tighter than the standard 1.0 mm specifications per the IEEE
287 precision connector standard.

Compatible Network Analyzers
The devices in this kit and their data are compatible with the PNA series
network analyzers.
Data-Based Model for Defining the Calibration Standards
The 85059 family of calibration kits uses the Data-Based models to define the
calibration standards.
Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide 1-3

General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Data-Based Model
The data-based model (85059B) of each calibration kit provides higher
accuracy for describing calibration standards than a polynomial model. The
data-based nominal S-Parameter model for each calibration standard is
generated by using a theoretical derivation or a high accuracy S-Parameter
measurement. These nominal S-parameter models are stored as part of the
data-based model. Errors that can be the result of polynomial model
approximations do not exist.
The data-based models may only be used with the SmartCal (Guided)
Calibration method of the Cal Wizard. Using the data-based models with the
Unguided Calibration method of the Cal Wizard is not allowed.
The data-based models may NOT be edited with the Advanced Modify Cal Kit
dialog box. Attempts to programmatically edit the definitions of the
data-based-model calibration standards will result in reported errors (i.e. SCPI
Execution Error).
In the PNA’s Modify Calibration Class Assignments dialog box
Math” feature is turned ON by default when the 85059B data-based model is
selected from a cal kit menu. In order to achieve a more accurate calibration,
Expanded Math uses the data at any given frequency from ALL measured
standards instead of using only the three standards specified in the class
definitions.

General Information
Calibration Kit Overview
Refer to Table 6-1 on page 6-2 and Figure 6-1 on page 6-3 for a complete list
of kit contents and their associated part numbers.
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.
This construction provides for extremely repeatable connections. The offset
opens have inner conductors that are supported by a strong, low dielectric
plastic to provide repeatability and reliability. Both the opens and shorts are
constructed so that the pin depth can be controlled very tightly, thereby
minimizing phase errors. The length of the offset opens are designed so that
the difference in phase of their reflection coefficients is approximately 180° at
all frequencies, with respect to offset short 2.
How to Identify Devices
The shorts, opens, and loads in the kit are identified by the number of rings (or
bands) around the body of the device.
— lowband loads have no rings or bands
— 1.3 mm offset short has 1 ring or band and is identified as Short 1
— 2.45 mm offset short has 2 rings or bands and is identified as Short 2
— 3.326 mm offset short has 3 rings or bands and is identified as Short 3
— 4.039 mm offset short has 4 rings or bands and is identified as Short 4
— offset open has 3 rings and is designed to be 180 degrees out of phase with
Short 2. In addition, the offset open has a rounded edge to help distinguish
it from the shorts (see Figure 1-1).

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.

Calibration Definitions
The calibration kit must be selected prior to performing a calibration. In
addition, the calibration definitions for the devices in the kit must be installed
in the analyzer as part of a firmware upgrade (≥12.80). Refer to
http://na.support.keysight.com/pna/.
Class assignments and standard definitions may change as more accurate
model and calibration methods are developed. For reference, you can
download and view 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.

Serial Numbers
Serial Number Prefix
A serial number label is attached to the calibration kit. A typical kit serial
number label is shown in Figure 1-2. The prefix is made up of six characters.
The first two characters show the country, the next two digits represent the
year, and the last two digits designate the week of manufacturing.
Serial Number Suffix
The last four digits are the suffix numbers. The suffix numbers are unique to
each calibration kit.
IMPORTANT!
Starting in March 2021 serial number prefixes ≥US6111 have a new
offset
the old serial number prefix US5720 opens. The changes made effect
mechanical behavior and manufacturability.

Device Serial Numbers
In addition to the kit serial number, the devices in this kit are individually
serialized (serial numbers are printed on an attached label, or scribed onto the
body of each device). Record these serial numbers in Figure 1-6 on page 1-16.
This can help you avoid confusing the devices in this kit with similar devices
from other kits.

Clarifying the Terminology of a Connector Interface
In this document and in the prompts of the PNA calibration wizard, the sex of
cable connectors and adapters is referred to in terms of the center conductor.
For example, a connector or device designated as 1.0 mm –f– has a 1.0 mm
female center conductor.
Preventive Maintenance
The best techniques for maintaining the integrity of the devices in this kit
include:
— routine visual inspection
—cleaning
— proper pin depth
— proper connection techniques
All of the above are described in Chapter 3, “Use, Maintenance, and Care of
the Devices.”. Failure to detect and remove fSdirt 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 the typical limits (see Table 2-4), or from bad connections,
can also damage these devices.

General Information
When to Calibrate
When to Calibrate
A network analyzer calibration remains valid as long as the changes in the
systematic error are insignificant. This means that changes to the uncorrected
leakages (directivity and isolation), mismatches (source match and load
match), and frequency response of the system are small (<10%) relative to
accuracy specifications.
Change in the environment (especially temperature) between calibration and
measurement is the major cause in calibration accuracy degradation. The
major effect is a change in the physical length of external and internal cables.
Other important causes are dirty and damaged test port connectors and
calibration standards. If the connectors become dirty or damaged,
measurement repeatability and accuracy is affected. Fortunately, it is relatively
easy to evaluate the general validity of the calibration. To test repeatability,
remeasure one of the calibration standards. If you can not obtain repeatable
measurements from your calibration standards, maintenance needs to be
performed on the test port connectors, cables and calibration standards. Also,
maintain at least one sample of the device under test or some known device as
your reference device. A verification kit may be used for this purpose. After
calibration, measure the reference device and note its responses. Periodically
remeasure the device and note any changes in its corrected response which
can be attributed to the test system. With experience you will be able to see
changes in the reference responses that indicate a need to perform the
measurement calibration again.
