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.

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 4, “Maintenance and Support.”.
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 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.

Temperature—What to Watch Out For
Changes in temperature can affect electrical characteristics. Therefore, the
operating temperature is a critical factor in performance. During a
measurement calibration, the temperature of the calibration devices must be
stable and within the range specified in Table 2-1.
IMPORTANT! Avoid unnecessary handling of the devices during calibration
because your fingers are a heat source.
Performance verification and measurements of devices under test need not be
performed within the operating temperature range of the calibration devices,
but they must be within the error-corrected temperature of the network
analyzer (±1 °C of the measurement calibration temperature). For example, if
the calibration is performed at +20 °C, the error-corrected temperature range
is +19 °C to +21 °C. It is then appropriate to perform measurements and
performance verifications at +19 °C, which is outside the operating
temperature range of the calibration devices, since only the actual calibration
must be performed within the operating temperature range.

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 components
and devices under test (DUTs), can also carry an electrostatic charge. To
prevent damage to the test set, components, and devices:
— always wear a grounded wrist strap having a 1 MΩ resistor in series with it
when handling components and devices or when making connections to
the test set.
— always use a grounded, conductive table mat while making connections.
— always wear a heel strap when working in an area with a conductive floor. If
you are uncertain about the conductivity of your floor, wear a heel strap.
— always ground yourself before you clean, inspect, or make a connection to
a static-sensitive device or test port. You can, for example, grasp the
grounded outer shell of the test port or cable connector briefly.
— always ground the center conductor of a test cable before making a
connection to the analyzer test port or other static-sensitive device. This
can be done as follows:
1. Connect a short (from your calibration kit) to one end of the cable to
short the center conductor to the outer conductor.
2. While wearing a grounded wrist strap, grasp the outer shell of the
cable connector.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the test port.
4. Remove the short from the cable.
Refer to Chapter 6, “Replacement Parts.” for part numbers and instructions for
ordering ESD protection 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.
Devices with damaged connectors should be immediately discarded or
clearly marked and set aside for repair. A damaged device will in turn
damage any good connector to which it is attached. Determine the cause
of the damage before connecting a new, undamaged connector in the
same configuration.
Magnification is helpful when inspecting connectors, but it is not required and
may actually be misleading. Defects and damage that cannot be seen without
magnification generally have no effect on electrical or mechanical
performance. Magnification is of great use in analyzing the nature and cause of
damage and in cleaning connectors, but it is not required for inspection.
Look for Obvious Defects and Damage First
Examine the connectors first for obvious defects and damage:
—Plating
—Bare metal showing
— Burrs or blisters
—Deformed threads
— Center conductors
—Bent
—Broken
—Misaligned
— Concentricity
Connector nuts should move smoothly and be free of:
—Burrs
—Loose metal particles
— Rough spots
Any connector that has obvious defects should be discarded or sent for repair refer to “Contacting Keysight” on page 5-4.

Visual Inspection
What Causes Connector Wear?
Connector wear is caused by connecting and disconnecting the devices. The
more use a connector gets, the faster it wears and degrades. The wear is
greatly accelerated when connectors are not kept clean, or are connected
incorrectly.
Connector wear eventually degrades performance of the device. Calibration
devices should have a long life if their use is on the order of a few times per
week. Replace devices with worn connectors.
The test port connectors on the network analyzer test set may have many
connections each day, and are therefore more subject to wear. It is
recommended that an adapter be used as a test port saver to minimize the
wear on the test set’s test port connectors.

integrity of a connector.

Inspect the Mating Plane Surfaces
Flat contact between the connectors at all points on their mating plane
surfaces is required for a good connection. See Figure 3-6 on page 3-10.
Look especially for deep scratches or dents, and for dirt and metal particles on
the connector mating plane surfaces. Also, look for “dings” on the mating
plane surfaces of the center and outer conductors, and look for signs of
damage due to excessive or uneven wear or misalignment.
Light burnishing of the mating plane surfaces is normal, and is evident as light
scratches or shallow circular marks distributed more or less uniformly over the
mating plane surface. Other small defects and cosmetic imperfections are also
normal. None of these affect electrical or mechanical performance.
Clean and inspect the connector again, if it shows:
— Deep scratches or dents
— Particles clinging to the mating plane surfaces
— Uneven wear

Visual Inspection
Devices with damaged connectors should be discarded or sent for repair.
Determine the cause of damage before connecting a new, undamaged
connector in the same configuration. Magnification is of great use in analyzing
the nature and cause of damaged connectors.
Inspect Female Connectors
Pay special attention to the contact fingers in the female center conductor.
These can be bent or broken, and damage to them is not always easy to see. A
connector with damaged contact fingers will negatively affect electrical
performance and must be replaced.
Inspection is particularly important when mating nonprecision to precision
devices.

Cleaning Connectors
Cleaning Connectors
Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF and microwave
coaxial connections.
1. Use Compressed Air or Nitrogen
Clean connectors are essential for ensuring the integrity of RF and
microwave coaxial connections.
Always use protective eyewear when using compressed air or
nitrogen.
Use compressed air (or nitrogen) to loosen particles on the connector
mating plane surfaces.
You can use any source of clean, dry, low-pressure compressed air or
nitrogen that has an effective oil-vapor filter and liquid condensation trap
placed just before the outlet hose.
Ground the hose nozzle to prevent electrostatic discharge, and set the air
pressure to less than 414 kPa (60 psi) to control the velocity of the air
stream. High-velocity streams of compressed air can cause electrostatic
effects when directed into a connector. These electrostatic effects can
damage the device. Refer to “Electrostatic Discharge” on page 3-2 earlier
in this chapter for additional information.
2. Clean the Connector Threads
Keep isopropyl alcohol away from heat, sparks, and flame. Store in a
tightly closed container. It is extremely flammable. In case of fire,
use alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide; water may be
ineffective.
Use isopropyl alcohol with adequate ventilation and avoid contact
with eyes, skin, and clothing. It causes skin irritation, may cause eye
damage, and is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. It may be harmful if
absorbed through the skin. Wash thoroughly after handling.
In case of spill, soak up with sand or earth. Flush spill area with
water.
Dispose of isopropyl alcohol in accordance with all applicable
federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
Use a lint-free swab or cleaning cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol to
remove any dirt or stubborn contaminants on a connector that cannot be
removed with compressed air or nitrogen. Refer to Table 6-2 on page 6-4
for a part numbers for cleaning swabs.

completely dry a connector before you reassemble or use it.
3. Clean the Mating Plane Surfaces
a. Apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to a lint-free cleaning
swab.
b. Gently clean the center and outer conductor mating plane surfaces.
Refer to Figure 3-6 on page 3-10. When cleaning a female
connector, avoid snagging the swab on the center conductor
contact fingers by using short strokes.
c. Let the alcohol evaporate, then blow the connector dry with a gentle

Pin Depth
Pin Depth
Pin depth is the distance the center conductor mating plane differs from being
flush with the outer conductor mating plane. See Figure 3-6 The pin depth of a
connector can be in one of two states: either protruding or recessed.
— Protrusion is the condition in which the center conductor extends beyond
the outer conductor mating plane. This condition will indicate a positive
value on the connector gage.
At no time should the pin depth of the 1.0 mm connector be protruding.
— Recession is the condition in which the center conductor is set back from
the outer conductor mating plane. This condition will indicate a negative
value on the connector gage.
Figure 3-6 Connector Pin Depth
The pin depth value of each calibration device in the kit is not specified, but is
an important mechanical parameter. The electrical performance of the device
depends, to some extent, on its pin depth.
Keysight verifies the pin depth characteristics of the connectors in this kit with
special gaging processes and electrical testing. This ensures that the device
connectors do not exhibit any center conductor protrusion and have proper pin
depth when the kit leaves the factory.

Using a Torque Wrench
Using a Torque Wrench
Use a torque wrench to make a final connection. Table 3-2 provides
information about the torque wrench recommended for use with this
calibration kit. Refer to Table 6-1 on page 6-2 for part number and ordering
information.
Table 3-2 Torque Wrench Information
Connector Type Torque Setting Torque Tolerance
1.0 mm 45 N-cm (4 in-lb) ±5.4 N-cm (±0.5 in-lb)
Using a torque wrench guarantees that the connection is not too tight,
preventing possible connector damage. It also guarantees that all connections
are equally tight each time. Table 3-9 on page 3-16 shows you where to hold
the torque wrench for optimum performance.
Do not pre-tighten the connector nut so much that there is no rotation of
the nut with the torque wrench. Static friction must not be present during
torquing.
1. Use the torque wrench supplied with your kit to make the final
connections.
2. Rotate only the connector nut when you tighten the connector.
In all situations, use an open–end wrench to keep the body of the device from
turning. Position both wrenches within 90 degrees of each other before
applying force (see Table 3-10 on page 3-16). Wrenches opposing each other
(180 degrees apart) will cause a lifting action. This lifting action can misalign,
and stress the connections of the devices involved. This is especially true when
several devices are connected together.

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Using a Torque Wrench
Figure 3-9 Correct Wrench Position
Narrow separation of the wrenches produces a small residual lateral force on
the structure of connected devices.
Figure 3-10 Incorrect Torque Wrench
Wide separation of the wrenches produces a larger residual lateral force on the
structure of connected devices. This can degrade connector repeatability.
3. Hold the torque wrench lightly, at the end of the handle only (beyond the
groove). See Figure 3-11 on page 3-17.

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Using a Torque Wrench
Figure 3-11 Where to Hold the Torque Wrench
4. Apply downward force perpendicular to the wrench handle. See Figure
3-12. This applies torque to the connection through the wrench.
Do not hold the wrench so tightly that you push the handle straight down
along its length rather than pivoting it, otherwise you apply an unknown
amount of torque.
Figure 3-12 Using the Torque Wrench
5. Tighten the connection just to the torque wrench "break" point. The
wrench handle gives way at its internal pivot point. See Figure 3-12. Do
not tighten the connection further.
Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide 3-17

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Using a Torque Wrench
You don’t have to fully break the handle of the torque wrench to reach the
specified torque; doing so can cause the handle to kick back and loosen
the connection. Any give at all in the handle is sufficient torque.
Do not pivot the wrench handle on your thumb or other fingers, otherwise
you apply an unknown amount of torque to the connection when the
wrench reaches its break point.
Do not twist the head of the wrench relative to the outer conductor mating
plane. If you do, you apply more than the recommended torque.

Use, Maintenance, and Care of the Devices
Disconnection Procedure
Disconnection Procedure
To avoid lateral (bending) force on the connector mating plane surfaces,
always support the devices and connections.
1. Use an open–end wrench to prevent the device body from turning.
2. Use another wrench to loosen the connector nut.
3. Complete the disconnection by hand, turning only the connector nut.
Do not twist one connector out of the other, (like removing a light bulb).
Turn the connector nut, not the device body. Major damage to the center
conductor and the outer conductor can occur if the device body is twisted.
4. Pull the connectors straight apart without twisting or bending.
Handling and Storage
— Install the protective end caps and store the calibration devices in the
foam-lined storage case when not in use.
— Never store connectors loose in a box, desk, or bench drawer. This is the
most common cause of connector damage during storage.
— Keep connectors clean.
— Do not touch mating plane surfaces. Natural skin oils and microscopic
particles of dirt are easily transferred to a connector interface and are very
difficult to remove.
— Do not set connectors contact-end down on a hard surface. The plating and
the mating plane surfaces can be damaged if the interface comes in
contact with any hard surface.

A discussion on the steps Keysight uses to verify a
calibration kit.
how often to recertify the calibration kit.
Where to send your kit for certification.
The performance of your calibration kit can only be verified by returning the kit
to Keysight Technologies for recertification. The equipment required to verify
the specifications of the devices in the kit has been specially manufactured and
is not commercially available.

Performance Verification
How Keysight Verifies the Devices in This Kit
How Keysight Verifies the Devices in This Kit
Keysight verifies the specifications of these devices as follows:
1. The residual microwave error terms of the test system are verified with
precision airlines and shorts that are directly traced to NIST (National
Institute of Standards and Technology). The airline and short
characteristics are developed from mechanical measurements. The
mechanical measurements and material properties are carefully modeled
to give very accurate electrical representation. The mechanical
measurements are then traced to NIST through various plug and ring
gages and other mechanical measurements
2. Each calibration device is electrically tested on this system. For the initial
(before sale) testing of the calibration devices, Keysight includes the test
measurement uncertainty as a guardband to guarantee each device meets
the published specification. For recertifications (after sale), no guardband
is used and the measured data is compared directly with the specification
to determine the pass or fail status. The measurement uncertainty for each
device is, however, recorded in the calibration report that accompanies
recertified kits.
Recertification
These two steps establish a traceable link to NIST for Keysight to the extent
allowed by the institute’s calibration facility. The specifications data provided
for the devices in this kit is traceable to NIST through Keysight Technologies.
The following will be provided with a recertified kit:
— a new calibration sticker affixed to the case
— a certificate of calibration
— a calibration report for each device in the kit listing measured values,
specifications, and uncertainties
A list of NIST traceable numbers may be purchased upon request to be
included in the calibration report.
Keysight Technologies offers a Standard calibration for the recertification of
this kit. For more information, contact Keysight Technologies - refer to
“Contacting Keysight” on page 5-4.
4-2 Keysight 85059B Operation and Service Guide
Performance Verification
Where to Send a Kit for Recertification
How Often to Recertify
The suggested initial interval for recertification is 12 months or sooner. The
actual need for recertification depends on the use of the kit. After reviewing the
results of the initial recertification, you may establish a different recertification
interval that reflects the usage and wear of the kit.
In some cases, the first time a kit is used after being recertified occurs
some time after the actual recertification date. The recertification interval
should begin on the date the kit is first used after the recertification date.
Where to Send a Kit for Recertification
Contact Keysight Technologies for information on where to send your kit for
recertification. See “Contacting Keysight” on page 5-4.
