Download Specifying Calibration Standards and Kits for Agilent Vector Network

Connector definitions
In addition to calibration standard definitions and standard class assignments, calibration kits also provide definitions of connectors. Agilent’s PNA network analyzer family
uses the connector definition to define connector (Figure 2):

Frequency Range
Gender (male, female, no gender)
Impedance
Media (coax, waveguide, etc)
Cutoff Frequency (waveguide)
Height/Width Ratio (waveguide)

A calibration kit may be defined with multiple connectors. Each 1-port calibration
standard must be associated with a defined connector. Two port standards, such as
thrus and adapters, may be associated with two different defined connectors.
