HP 85055A Verification Kit Rental

We have the HP 85055A verification kit, which is used to verify that a network analyzer is operating within its specified performance. All verification kits include measurement data and uncertainties that are traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The 85055A verification kit has a Type-N connector and covers a frequency range of 300 kHz to 18 GHz. The 85055A is compatible with the Keysight PNA series of network analyzers. This kit includes a 10 cm airline, a stepped-impedance airline, and 20 dB and 50 dB attenuators.

The 85055A verification kit is a calibration verification kit designed specifically for use with vector network analyzers (VNAs) of the HP series (now Agilent and Keysight). This kit is used to verify the accuracy and calibration of two-port vector network analyzers.

• Short: An adapter that connects the input port and the output port of the network analyzer with a short-circuited connection. It is used to establish the amplitude reference.
• Open: Similar to the short, but instead of being short-circuited, this adapter has an open end. It is used to establish the amplitude reference and the phase offset.
• Load: An adapter that provides a purely resistive load to the network analyzer. It is used to establish the amplitude reference.
• Through: A set of connectors or an adapter that directly connects the input port to the output port of the network analyzer. It is used to establish the amplitude and phase reference.

These basic components are used to perform a complete verification of the network analyzer’s calibration. The process involves connecting each of these calibration standards to the VNA and taking a series of verification measurements. These measurements are compared against known reference values to verify the accuracy and calibration of the network analyzer.

The 85055A verification kit is an important tool for ensuring accurate, reliable measurements in RF and microwave test applications where vector network analyzers are used.
