software and on the CD. All PXI VNA documentation is available

at: http://na.support.keysight.com/pxivna/help

Calibration services

The modular products are factory calibrated and shipped with

an ISO-9002, NIST-traceable calibration certificate. A one

year calibration cycle is recommended. The M937xA PXIe VNA

is supported by the Keysight N7800A Calibration Software to

perform calibrations that test all product specifications and

is compliant with ISO 17025:2005, ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006

and Measurement Uncertainty per ISO Guide to Expression of

Measurement Uncertainty 1995.

N7800A calibration and adjustment software

The M937xA PXIe VNA is supported by Keysight’s calibration

and adjustment software. This is the same software used at

Keysight’s service centers to automate calibration. The

software offers compliance tests for ISO 17025:2005, ANSI/NCSL

H. Measurement Accessories

A complete list of RF and microwave test accessories is available

on our web site: www.keysight.com/find/mta.

Accessories are available in these connector types: 50 ohm

Type-N, 3.5 mm, 7 mm, and waveguide. Test port cables and a

calibration kit should be added for a complete measurement

system. A verification kit is used to verify corrected system

performance.

Cables and adapter sets

Keysight offers cables in the following types:

–Single cables in semi-rigid and flexible

–Cable sets in semi-rigid and flexible

There are also adapter sets available that protect the test port

and convert the port to the desired connector interface. These

kits contain:

– One male adapter

– One female adapter

To attain the best mechanical rigidity for device connection, use a

single cable and the appropriate special adapter set. To attain the

greatest flexibility for device connection, use a cable set.

Calibration kits

Coaxial measurements

Mechanical calibration kits include standards, such as opens,

shorts and loads, which are measured by the network analyzer for

increased measurement accuracy.

Electronic calibration (ECal) kits replace mechanical calibration

standards with one solid-state calibration module that is

controlled by the network analyzer via USB, to present many

different impedances to the test ports. A full two-port calibration

can be performed quickly with a single connection. This tech-

nique reduces operator errors and connector wear and abrasion.

Choose a calibration kit for each connector type to be used.

Economy, includes:

– Open standards (male and female)

– Short standards (male and female)

– Fixed-termination standards (male and female)

Standard, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:

–Sliding load standards (male and female) or a series of offset shorts

Precision, includes the devices in the economy kit and adds:

– 50 ohm airline(s) for TRL calibration

– TRL adapters

Waveguide measurements

For waveguide measurements, Keysight offers mechanical

calibration kits that include:

– Waveguide-to-coax adapters (X, P, K)

– Precision waveguide section

– Flush short circuit

– Fixed terminations

– Straight section
