Description
Maury 8060 series VNA calibration kits provide the necessary standards and accessories required to accurately calibrate network analyzers up to 20 GHz for error-corrected measurements of devices equipped with AFTNC connectors.

The Maury AFTNC connectors supplied in this kit fully comply with the interface requirements of MIL-C-87104/2. The male connector utilizes a solid outer conductor configuration to provide consistent measurement results. All connector bodies are fabricated from stainless steel for strength and wear resistance. These connectors were developed using optimized HFSS simulation to provide extremely low VSWR, and they are rated to 20 GHz. For interface specifications on these connectors, please refer to Maury data sheet 5E-056.

The 8680 kits are available in configurations for all popular analyzer and test port cable/connector combinations. The "A" model (full) kits include both sliding and fixed terminations, while the "B" model (economy) kits include only fixed terminations.

Each kit is supplied in an attractive foam-lined wooden instrument case with operating instructions.

2 These test port adapters have ruggedized 3.5mm female (NMD3.5mm) connectors that mate directly with the ruggedized
male 3.5mm (NMD3.5mm) on Agilent 8513, 8515 and some Anritsu test sets, as well as the 2.92mm connectors used on
some Anritsu test sets. These test port adapters are not phase matched, but all other adapters listed in Table 3 are phase
matched within their series.
