Description

The 7005G series high precision kits feature optimized standards and calibration constants, and are designed to provide highly accurate calibration of Agilent 8510A/B/C and Anritsu 360/37000 vector network analyzers for measurements in rectangular waveguide. Kits are available for the Agilent 8510 and Anritsu 360/37000 VNAs from 26.5 to 110 GHz (WR28 through WR10). See the Table 1 (below) for details.

Flange Information

All kit component flanges are provided with precision indexing holes for excellent measurement repeatability (indexing pins are provided with the kit). Kit components are provided in a foam-lined wooden instrument case. Millimeter waveguide flanges for use on WR22 and smaller sizes are of a unique Maury pioneered design. This design features a raised outer rim to prevent the flanges from cocking during connection, and removable four-pin alignment pattern pins to permit servicing the flanges. These flanges will mate with corresponding UG( )/U flanges.

Optimized Directivity and Source Match

The 7005G series VNA calibration kits are configured for the short-short-load-thru (SSLT) calibration method using offset shorts and a sliding termination. The sliding termination housings are calibrated for return loss and then selected for compliance with directivity specification. The offset shorts are calibrated and the calibration coefficients are optimized for compliance with the source match specification. The calibration data are provided in a calibration report supplied with each kit. Since the constants are optimized, the data medium supplied is unique to each specific calibration kit.

Test Port and Cable Connectors

These kits are configured for use with VNAs utilizing external millimeter waveguide test heads or modules.

Kit Composition

As shown in the adjacent table, the 7005G model series calibration kits provide all the necessary devices for accurately calibrating the appropriate VNA. These kits are provided with a high precision sliding termination featuring a machined housing to ensure high effective directivity after calibration. The sliding terminations for use in WR22 waveguide and smaller sizes are equipped with a micrometer drive so that load positions can be easily and smoothly set.

Precision straight sections and a fixed (reference plane) short are also provided and can be used as verification standards.
