The Agilent 85039B is a calibration kit for precision vector network analyzer measurements using 75-ohm Type-F connectors. It provides the electrical standards and mechanical adapters required to establish traceable calibration references on VNA systems characterizing cable, satellite, and RF components with Type-F interfaces up to 3 GHz.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency range: DC to 3 GHz
• Impedance: 75 ohms
• Connector type: Type-F (male and female)
• Operating temperature: +15 to +35 °C
• Storage temperature: −40 to +75 °C
– Key Features
The kit includes matched pairs of calibration standards and Type-F adapters. Loads (male and female) deliver return loss ≥ 45 dB from DC to 1 GHz and ≥ 38 dB from 1 to 3 GHz. Shorts and opens maintain phase accuracy within ±0.60° and ±0.55° respectively from DC to 1 GHz, tightening to ±1.00° and ±1.30° above 1 GHz to 3 GHz.
Physical standards include 75-ohm loads, shorts, and opens in both male and female configurations. Adapter set consists of Type-F male-to-male, female-to-female, and mixed-gender Type-F–to–Type-N adapters for versatile test port connectivity.
– Typical Applications
Cable and transmission line characterization, satellite RF subsystem verification, component reflection and transmission measurements, and broadband network analyzer system calibration across television, cellular, and microwave frequency bands.
– Compatibility & Integration
The 85039B calibrates Agilent 8752C, 8753, and 8712E network analyzer platforms. It supports all 75-ohm network analyzers and test sets. Type-F and Type-N adapter provision enables integration with systems requiring mixed connector topologies.
