The Keysight 85052C is a precision mechanical calibration kit engineered for accurate characterization of network analyzers and RF equipment with 3.5 mm connectors. Operating across DC to 26.5 GHz, this kit delivers the systematic error correction required for demanding high-frequency measurements. It supports multiple calibration methodologies including Thru-Reflect-Line (TRL) and Short/Short/Open/Load/Thru (SSOLT) techniques, enabling full two-port calibration across its entire frequency range.
The kit contains precision 50 Ohm mechanical standards: dual airline segments optimized for 2–7 GHz and 7–32 GHz operation, male and female open and short circuits, load standards, gender-changing adapters, and torque wrenches for repeatable connection integrity. Return loss exceeds 42 dB across DC to 26.5 GHz while insertion loss remains at or below 0.05 dB. Residual voltage is held to 1 mV maximum, ensuring minimal measurement error. Power handling capability reaches 1 Watt.
