The Keysight 85058V Verification Kit is a precision calibration standard for validating vector network analyzer performance across the 1.85 mm connector interface. Operating from 10 MHz to 67 GHz, this kit confirms system integrity and measurement accuracy after VNA calibration, ensuring corrected performance meets specified limits in demanding RF and microwave test environments. All measurement data and component uncertainties are traceable to NIST.
Technical Specifications
• Connector Type: 1.85 mm
• Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 67 GHz
• Traceability: U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
– Key Features
The kit includes precision reference devices for thorough VNA characterization:
• 50 Ohm Adapter — establishes precise 50 Ω reference impedance
• Stepped Impedance Adapter — provides variable impedance loads for comprehensive characterization
• 10 dB Attenuator — calibrated reference for reduced-level performance verification
• 40 dB Attenuator — calibrated reference for significantly reduced-level verification
• Measurement Data — component-specific characterization data with documented uncertainties
– Typical Applications
The 85058V verifies VNA performance post-calibration by measuring reference devices and confirming operation within specification. This validation process is essential for sustaining measurement accuracy and test result integrity in high-frequency RF and microwave applications where system performance margin documentation is required.
