Achieve phase stability when using these 62.9-cm cables with full S-parameter test sets

Highlights

The Keysight 85132F is a 62.9 cm (24.75 in) long¹ flexible cable set composed of two 3.5 mm female² to 7 mm connectors. Cable frequency range is dc to 18 GHz with a return loss greater than or equal to 17 dB. Insertion loss is 0.25 * sqrt(f) + 0.2, where f is frequency in GHz, for the test port connector and device connector. Phase stability of semi-rigid/flexible cables is specified with a 90 degree bend using a 4 to 3 inch radius. Stability¹ of the Keysight 85132F is less than 0.12 dB and phase is 0.13 * f + 0.5, where f is frequency in GHz.

¹ Cable length and stability are supplemental characteristics.

² Special rugged female connector is designed specifically for connecting to the network analyzer test port, but does not mate with a standard male connector.
