The Agilent/Keysight 85033C is a 3.5mm precision calibration kit engineered for accurate RF and microwave measurements on Agilent/Keysight network analyzers. It provides a complete set of meticulously manufactured standards—open, short, load, and thru—designed to minimize systematic measurement errors and verify test setup performance. Each standard is precisely characterized across a wide RF and microwave spectrum to support high-fidelity calibration of both male and female connector configurations. The kit reduces directivity, tracking, and reflection tracking errors, enabling engineers to achieve measurement accuracy essential for RF circuit characterization, component verification, and system integration.
Technical Specifications
