Agilent / Keysight 85050D Economy Mechanical Calibration Kit, DC to 18 GHz, 7 mm

The Agilent/Keysight 85050D is an economy mechanical calibration kit for 7 mm interfaces operating from DC to 18 GHz. It delivers the precision standards required for 1-port and 2-port calibrations, including Thru-Reflect-Match (TRM) procedures on network analyzers. The kit corrects directivity, source matching, and reflection tracking errors to enhance measurement accuracy across RF and microwave applications.
