– Key Features
Precision Slotless Connectors (PSC)
Female Type-N connectors are metrology-grade precision slotless connectors with direct traceability to national measurement standards. PSC design eliminates sensitivity to mating male pin diameter variations, ensuring enhanced repeatability and fully traceable performance verification.
Calibration Standards
Offset opens (male and female) employ low-dielectric constant plastic for minimal phase compensation. Offset shorts feature one-piece inner conductor construction for highly repeatable connections. Broadband 50 Ohm load terminations (male and female) provide accurate error correction across the operating band.
Accessory Package
Kit includes Type-N to 7mm adapters (male and female), Type-N barrel adapter (female-to-female), Type-N male-to-male adapter, 3/4 inch torque wrench (135 N-cm / 12 in-lb), spanner wrench, and foam-lined storage case. A calibration definitions disk may be included for compatible network analyzers.
– Typical Applications
• S-parameter measurement and verification
• Systematic error correction in network analyzer setups
• Type-N interface characterization
• Repeatable RF and microwave calibration workflows
– Compatibility & Integration
Designed for Keysight network analyzers. Type-N connector architecture supports direct connection to Type-N test ports and compatibility with 7mm measurement systems via provided adapters.
