Connectors Tab
Cal Kit Name Allows you to change the Name of the selected calibration kit.
Cal Kit Description Allows you to change the description of the selected calibration kit.
Connector Family .Click the down arrow to select the connector family associated with the Cal Kit.
Add Starts the Add Connector dialog box which allows you to add new connector type to the calibration kit.
Delete Deletes - WITHOUT WARNING - the selected connector family.
Note: To modify a connector family or name, Add a new connector, then delete the old connector.
The following is the list of Factory-defined connector type strings:
|
APC 3.5 female APC 3.5 male APC 2.4 female APC 2.4 male APC 7 |
Type N (50) female Type N (50) male Type N (75) female Type N (75) male Type F (75) female Type F (75) male Type A (50) female Type A (50) male Type B |
7-16 female 7-16 male 2.92 mm female 2.92 mm male 1.85 mm female 1.85 mm male 1.0 mm female 1.0 mm male |
X-band waveguide P-band waveguide K-band waveguide Q-band waveguide R-band waveguide U-band waveguide V-band waveguide W-band waveguide |
Frequency Range
Min Allows you to define the lowest frequency at which the standard is used for calibration.
Max Allows you to define the highest frequency at which the standard is used for calibration.
Gender
Gendered - The connector family contains both Male and Female connectors.
Genderless - The connector family does NOT contain Male and Female connectors. APC7 connectors are an example of this connector type.
Impedance
Specify the impedance of the standard.
Media
The medium (or 'geometry') of the connector (COAX or WAVEGUIDE).
Cutoff Frequency If Media is Waveguide, type the low-end cutoff frequency.
Height/Width Ratio Used to calculate waveguide loss. This value is usually on the data sheet for waveguide devices.
About Waveguide Cal Kits
If modifying or creating a waveguide cal kit, be sure to make the following settings. You can create a custom waveguide cal kit using an existing factory waveguide Cal kit as a starting point. The factory cal kits already have these settings.
-
Frequency Range: Min. frequency = Cutoff frequency.
-
Gender: No Gender
-
Impedance Z0: 1 ohm
-
Media: Waveguide
For waveguide, choose TRL (Thru-Reflect-Line) calibration type . These calibration types are more accurate and take fewer steps than SOLT.
Add Connector Family
Enter a name for the new connector family. Then click OK.
Available at the bottom of every tab
Save As - Allows you to save the cal kit to a new file name and type.
Save - Saves the cal kit to the same file name and type.
Close - Closes the cal kit editing session. The file is NOT saved automatically.
