Agilent/Keysight 85032

The Agilent/Keysight 85032 is a precision calibration kit for network analyzer measurements on 50-ohm Type-N connectors. It delivers essential open, short, and load standards that compensate for systematic errors and enable accurate S-parameter characterization from DC to 6 GHz. The kit's mechanical precision - particularly tight control of pin depth and connector repeatability - ensures phase stability and measurement reliability across research, development, and manufacturing workflows.

Technical Specifications

Frequency Range: DC to 6 GHz Connector Type: 50-ohm Type-N (male and female) Calibration Standards Included:

• Open circuits (male and female) with separate-piece inner conductors and low-dielectric plastic for minimal phase error


• Short circuits (male and female) with one-piece inner conductor design for repeatable connections


• Broadband 50-ohm loads (male and female) with distributed resistive elements on sapphire substrate Load Return Loss Performance:


• ≥ 49 dB (ρ ≤ 0.00355) DC to ≤ 2 GHz


• ≥ 46 dB (ρ ≤ 0.00501) > 2 GHz to ≤ 3 GHz


• ≥ 40 dB (ρ ≤ 0.01000) > 3 GHz to ≤ 6 GHz Operating Temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C; temperature must remain stable within ±1 °C during calibration

Key Features

• Pin depth control (nominal 5.26 mm / 0.207 inch) manufactured and tested to specification for electrical consistency


• Phase-offset standards available for 180-degree reflection coefficient control across the frequency band


• Sapphire-substrate loads deliver superior stability and low-frequency performance


• Dual-beaded connector geometry ensures repeatable mating cycles

Optional Components Option 100: Four precision phase-matched 7mm to 50-ohm Type-N adapters with ≥ 30 dB return loss (ρ ≤ 0.03162) DC to ≤ 6 GHz for non-insertable device measurement

Typical Applications S-parameter characterization, systematic error correction, frequency-dependent phase compensation, and broadband network analyzer validation in laboratory and production environments.
