The Keysight (formerly Agilent HP) 85036B is a high-precision 75 Ohm Type-N Calibration Kit designed for calibrating network analyzers up to 3 GHz. It contains open, short, and fixed termination standards in both genders, alongside phase-matched adapters for accurate measurements of non-insertable devices. The kit is optimized to deliver highly stable, repeatable connections using state-of-the-art machined parts and sapphire-based resistive load elements.
