Re: HP/Agilent/Keysight 8478B thermistor mount
I haven¡¯t seen any 8478B used as transfer standard , we used them with some special option to calibrate the 50MHz reference on 43x series meters , for sensor calibration we used a weinschel system2

Re: Limits of the Port Extension on the Cal screen for calibrating at end of cable
Could you have used a single point frequency measurement n the VNA? I know the 8510 will do that. But I am sure the experience was educational - thanks for the education - it would have taken me a bit

Re: HP 8662A Power up - overvoltage shutdown
Hi, Following the comments by G Edmonds in this thread he recommended loading the PSU -40V rail more heavily to resolve the PSU shutdown error occurring immediately after start-up. Pleased to say that

Re: HP/Agilent/Keysight 8478B thermistor mount
They certainly can be, and certainly are, used as transfer standards. Further, NIST will calibrate them. (they won't calibrate any other type of RF power sensor, unless something has changed very

Re: HP/Agilent/Keysight 8478B thermistor mount
i wouldnt call it a transfer standard , weinschel/tegam makes sensors that use the same principle that are heated (1109/1111)? that are used with system 2 units to calibrate sensors , they are

Re: HP/Agilent/Keysight 8478B thermistor mount
first of you have to consider that the 8478B just as the older 478 series requires a lot of manual assembly steps as it was designed in a time when there was no such thing as surface mount parts or

It is directed at a captive audience. This piece is used as the transfer standard for making power measurement calibrations and is required for certain procedures. If you want to play in a certain

Re: Limits of the Port Extension on the Cal screen for calibrating at end of cable
Hello, There is one more issue to consider. Long lines give delays. Once I wanted to measure the loss of a coaxial cable on a vna. Was an interesting experience: no response. Until I realized the

For those of you who possess the older (hopefully working and accurate) 478A coaxial thermistor mount it might come as a surprise that the price of the present replacement ¨C the Keysight 8478B mount

Re: Limits of the Port Extension on the Cal screen for calibrating at end of cable
One thing to consider is that RG213 is not phase stable so if you flex the cable after calibration it may affect your measurement Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2022 1:10 PM To:

Re: Limits of the Port Extension on the Cal screen for calibrating at end of cable
Hi Karin, "Upper limit" is not as hard a cliff as your question presupposes. Whether or not a given length of cable is too much depends on your acceptance criteria. What are you trying to measure, and

Re: Limits of the Port Extension on the Cal screen for calibrating at end of cable
You mention port extensions but then in the post you refer to calibration , I just want to point out that those are different things ! When you do a calibration on a VNA you move the reference plane

Re: E4407B RYTHM Repair / Replace
Hello Kalle and Bob I worked out a method of adjusting a bad RYTHM tower. That works for the HP8563E and for the E4407. They share the tower as far as I know. Problem is the E4407 cannot be calibrated
