Anyone want a 16 port 9GHz VNA? or two? Couple on sale in ebay UK only ?25,000 each. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/204952935658 The modules are current and start at ?25,000 each, more with options. Robert.

Hello - For the classic HP8510 VNA system, there are a number of test sets. Can any one tell me (or point me to a doc) that details the RF 50 GHz Test set differences from HP8517A to HP8517B ? thanks!

Hi group, I need a new coax between the 8340A sweeper and the 8515A test set to replace my current cable+adapters. The 8340A sweeper has a 3.5mm male output on the front panel and goes to 26.5 GHz. The 8515A test set has a 3.5mm female input at the rear panel. My cable needs to be 3.5 mm female to male and long enough to go around the two instruments without "extruding" too much. My current coax from Adams Russel (male-male) is very good, but not long enough (96 cm), so I need a short semi-rigid+adapter. Still it works fine, but mechanically it's rather sensitive for accidental operator bumps. I could turn the generator around to solve this issue but, who likes that. Preferably 20dB return loss up to 26.5G. Yes, I can measure it once it's ready. I thought of making a semi-rigid cable from RG-402/U and with the right SMA connectors. Checking Mouser, this seems expensive with about 150 euro / connector from H&S or Rosenberger, so 300 euro + the cable + shipping and then I have to make it myself. Are there any better alternatives outside of China? Well, a quality manufacturer in China is OK, but my experience is that they are well hidden and hard to find. Thought's, suggestions, experience? Thanks, Bo

Hi, Is there any documentation for the calibration files which are meant to come on disks with Anritsu cal kits? I'm interested in how to create such files for other standards that have been accurately measured on a calibrated VNA. The manual is very lacking - just suggests the COMPONENT UTILITIES -> INSTALL KIT INFO FROM DISC and suitable magic happens.At least the discs are in a DOS format and can be written using a USB floppy. There's a link on Dr. Kirby's site to Cal Kit Manager but unfortunately the link seems dead and maybe it only supports HP. Archive found a copy apparently at https://web.archive.org/web/20170424223326if_/http://vnahelp.com/ckman/setup.exe and ity does look like it is HP specific. Alan

Does anyone happen to have a copy in any format, or have suggestions on where one might obtain it?

Does anyone have any Anritsu AutoCalData files they would be willing to share? (Example attached.) I have figured out the serial controls for my 36585K and I have written a python tool that uses it, in combination with its AutoCalData file, to perform a calibration. I am in the process of putting this code into scikit-rf. However, I only have the one ACD file to test with, so I don't really know how well it generalizes. Besides, it would be nice to have a library of typical data in case anyone buys "as-is" and needs to diagnose their purchase. If anyone has ACD files for some of the related autocals (or, heck, even another 36585K) would you be willing to share a copy? 36581N 36581K 36582K 36584N 36584K 36585K 36585V PS If you have access to an Anritsu VNA, I think the file should live approximately here: C:\Anritsu\VNA\AutoCal\V123456.ACD Thanks!

A stumbled across a 8035A and 8035H sliding airline this weekend. I think one is missing an adapter but I have not found a data sheet or any instructions on how to use them. Any guidance on where to learn more about them? I believe I have a use for them once I figure out more details thanks Dave VE7HR

Hello My 8753D VNA seems to be having some start up problems which I have been trying to troubleshoot with the help of the good folks at the HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment groups. In the meantime I was looking to purchase the Pico VNA 106 so my projects do not come to a stand still. I see it as the lowest cost 6GHz VNA which is portable. Since I have some travels coming up, I wanted my next VNA purchase to be portable. I read Dr Kirkby's brief summary on the Pico VNA which really helps. But I also wanted to ask anyone in this group if they had any other thoughts about the Pico VNA apart from its software. I understand that the software is not as impressive in terms of its looks but wondering about its functionality. Its hardware specs seem quite competitive for its price (Dynamic range, trace noise). I'm mostly designing antennas in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz ISM range. Has anyone had any experience with the Pico VNA 106 model? https://www.picotech.com/vector-network-analyzer/picovna/picovna-series Are there any other portable VNAs out there that would be a better bang for the buck? Appreciate any feedback :) -Raghu

Hi folks, I got me a couple of pairs of HP test port cables in the mail today. Price was quite good. Unfortunately, one of them (85131-60012) has a problem. The male 3.5mm NMD on the reference plane end was loose, and when I examined it further, a pair of very fine washers/bushings that must have been made out of mylar? tumbled out, all crumpled and messed up. I put it back together and the connector's performance is very poor. I don't see any physical damage on the connector parts, but it seems those two pieces must be important. Is it possible to repair this? Sean

Hello All, This may not be the best group to do this, but I will start here. I am winding down my career and looking to downsize my library. I have two boxes (the banker's storage box size) of Hp/Agilent/Keysight Application notes that I am looking to donate someplace or someone. The app notes go all the way back to the 1960's (I picked these up from someone throwing them out when I worked at Agilent in the early 2000's). I tried donating them to a local college (Massachusetts/New Hampshire area) about 8 years ago but they were not interested. All topics are covered. Sorry I do not have a list. I also have another two boxes (larger than the banker's storage box) that deal with phase noise and the phase noise measurement system (E5500). If you are local to the Massachusetts/New Hampshire area I am willing to meet up within reason. Otherwise, we can try to work something out. I hope someone would like them, I would hate to throw them out. Reply back or send a email to mikejvir at gmail dot com with the subject line AppNotes Thanks for your time Sincerely Michael J. Virostko

Well, I am the owner, moderator, and benevolent dictator, so here goes… Pete, you know your threats to destroy items others consider to be valuable annoy the living crap out of quite a few people on this mailing list and others. It has been discussed in a number of venues any number of times. On the other hand, you are sometimes a valuable contributor to the VNA and HP communities, often have great gear to offer to fellow members of the test equipment and ham radio communities. Many have benefitted from your sources, collection and knowledge. As such, I ask you, Pete, to refrain from posting in the vein of equipment destruction, etc as a consideration to your fellow contributors. Similarly, I ask the rest of the participants on this list to also refrain from rising to the bait and going down this pointless rathole. Starting now, anyone who brings this up risks, at first step, complete moderator approval of all postings, and, as a second step, removal from the list. As list moderator and benevolent dictator, I pretty much let everything go by unless it really threatens the signal to noise ratio, which, for a group such as this, is generally as it should be, that being very high I do not undertake this action lightly or without some careful consideration. I personally abhor censorship, but I also recognize the need to keep discussions focused. As such, I ask you all to ask yourself before emailing or posting here the following question: ‘Is this posting/email a positive contribution or question relative to the discussion at hand?’ If it is, please contribute and, by all means, ask questions and offer up good tidbits for sale on a personal basis. If responding to an offer of something for sale, please direct your responses to the originator of the offer. We don’t all need to see the deal go down. Many thanks, Bob
