Measurement Accessories
There are measurement accessories for seven
device connector types: 7 mm, 3.5 mm, 2.92 mm,
2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, 1.0 mm, and Type-N. Calibration
kits include standards that are required for vector
error correction. Verification kits include stan-
dards used to verify system performance specifica-
tions. Test port return cables extend the ports of
the test set and connect to the device under test.
Agilent 85130X adapter sets convert test set ports
to the same connector type (acting as a test port
saver) or to a different connector type.
Electronic calibration
Electronic calibration (ECal) is a precision, single
connection, one- or two-port calibration technique
that uses fully traceable and verifiable electronic
impedance standards. ECal replaces the traditional
calibration technique that uses mechanical stan-
dards. ECal requires fewer connections. It removes
the intensive operator interaction, which is prone
to errors. A full two-port calibration can be accom-
plished with a single connection of the ECal
module and minimal operator interaction. This
results in a faster and more repeatable calibration.
Calibrations for non-insertable devices are equally
convenient and straight forward.
ECal modules are controlled manually or automati-
cally via the Agilent 85097A PC interface module
with control software. The 85097A consists of a PC
interface module, control software, and a power
supply. The 85090 family of RF ECal modules pro-
vides calibration across the complete frequency
range of the 8753C/D/E vector network analyzers.
The 85060 family of microwave ECal modules
provides calibrations through 26.5 GHz for the
8510B/C and 8719/20/22C/D vector network
analyzers.

An 85097A PC interface module with control soft-
ware must be ordered to drive all ECal modules.
The 85097A requires a customer-supplied PC meet-
ing the following minimum requirements:
• Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0, or later operating
system
• 486 or later CPU
• 32 MB of RAM
• 10 MB available hard-disk space
• One of the following GPIB interface cards:
82340A/B, 82341C/D, National AT-GPIB/TNT,
National AT-GPIB/TNT (plug&play), or National
PCI-GPIB
1. For ECal modules with sexed (m-f) connectors, the standard modules have one
female and one male connector.
2. RF ECal modules are specified to operate from 300 kHz to 6 GHz, with typical per-
formance down to 30 kHz.
A. 85060 series modules cover a frequency range of 1 GHz to either 18 or 26.5 GHz.
The upper frequency is limited by the connector cutoff frequency. Each module is
supplied with a torque wrench and foam-padded wood storage box.
B. 85090 series modules cover a frequency range of 30 kHz to 6 GHz. Each module is
supplied with a torque wrench and foam-padded wood storage box.
