Agilent/Keysight 85062A

The Keysight 85062A is a precision electronic calibration (ECal) kit designed for network analyzer systems operating up to 26.5 GHz. It replaces traditional mechanical calibration standards with a single-connection electronic approach, eliminating operator interaction variability and connector wear while delivering repeatable, traceable measurements. The system requires the Keysight 85060C ECal Control Unit for operation.

– Technical Specifications

• Frequency Range: 1 GHz to 26.5 GHz (standard module); 45 MHz to 2 GHz (Option 001 low-band module)
• Connector Type: 3.5 mm precision slotless connectors
• Calibration Method: Full two-port calibration with single connection; supports non-insertable device calibrations
• Control Interface: Keysight 85060C Electronic Calibration Control Unit (required)
• Operating Temperature: All calibration modules and connectors must achieve thermal stability within specified operating limits. Network analyzer measurement calibration may be performed at any temperature within the ECal kit’s operating range, provided the analyzer maintains its error-corrected temperature range (typically ±1°C from initial calibration temperature)
• Environmental Specifications: Detailed environmental operating parameters listed in Operating and Service Manual, Part Number 85062-90001 (Revision January 1995)

– Key Features

• Individual serialization of each calibration module for traceability
• Precision slotless connector design for enhanced measurement accuracy and repeatability
• Modular architecture supporting both low-band and high-band calibration coverage
• Non-insertable connector options (male or female) available
• Eliminates mechanical standard degradation and connector damage from repeated mating cycles

– Typical Applications

• Network analyzer calibration and verification
• Production test environments requiring repeatable calibration standards
• Automated measurement systems needing minimal operator intervention
• Multi-port device characterization

– Compatibility & Integration

The 85062A integrates with Keysight network analyzer platforms including systems designed for measurements to 26.5 GHz, such as the HP 8510. The 85060C control unit provides the necessary interface and command set for seamless operation within networked test environments.
