Measurement Accessories
A complete list of RF and microwave test accessories is available
on our Web site: www.keysight.com/find/mta
Accessories are available in these connector types: 50 Ω
Type-N, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.92 mm, 1.85 mm, 1.0 mm, and
waveguide. Test port cables and a calibration kit should be added
for a complete measurement system. A verification kit is used to
verify corrected system performance.
Cables and adapter sets
Keysight offers cables in the following types:
– Single cables in semi-rigid and flexible
– Cable sets in semi-rigid and flexible
There are also adapter sets available that protect the test port
and convert the port to the desired connector interface. These
kits contain:
– One male adapter
– One female adapter
To attain the best mechanical rigidity for device connection, use
a single cable and the appropriate special adapter set. To attain
the greatest flexibility for device connection, use a cable set.
Calibration kits
Coaxial measurements
Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens,
shorts and loads, which are measured by the network analyzer
for increased measurement accuracy.
Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.
Economy, includes:
– Open standards (male and female)
– Short standards (male and female)
– Fixed-termination standards (male and female)
Standard, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
– Sliding load standards (male and female) or a series of offset
shorts
Precision, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:
– 50 Ω airline(s) for TRL calibration
– TRL adapters
Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical calibration
standards with one solid-state calibration module that is
controlled by the network analyzer via USB, to present
many different impedances to the test ports. A full two-port
calibration can be performed quickly with a single connection.
This technique reduces operator errors and connector wear and
abrasion.
For more information about ECal modules, refer to the technical
overview 5963-3743E (N4690, 85090, N4430 and N7550 Series).
Waveguide measurements
For waveguide measurements, Keysight offers mechanical
calibration kits that include:
– Waveguide-to-coax adapters (X, P, K, R, Q, U, V)
– Precision waveguide section
– Flush short circuit
– Fixed terminations
– Straight section
