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
