85540A 40 GHz Standard CalPod

• Frequency: 500 MHz to 40 GHz
• Amplitude re-correction to (typically): ±0.05 dB
• Phase re-correction to (typically): ±1.5°
• Directivity re-correction to (typically): -38 dB
• 2.92 mm connectors
• PNA Firmware Option 301: Application for use with standard CalPods (required)

CalPods provide a new and unique way to quickly and easily refresh a network analyzer calibration, at the push of a button and without removing the DUT or re-connecting standards.

CalPods operate with the following PNA family of network analyzers: PNA-X N524xA, PNA N522xA, and PNA-L N5231/32/34/35/39A. Operation of the CalPods requires specific CalPod firmware for the PNA, an 85523B CalPod Controller, and to control more than four CalPods the 85556A fan-out cable splitter is required.

PNA Firmware Option 301: Application for use with standard CalPods (required)
PNA firmware option 301 is used for ambient temperature operation of CalPods and provides accurate re-correction capabilities over the temperature range of +20 °C to +30 °C. A maximum of only four CalPods can be controlled with option 301. The temperature characterized and thermal-vacuum environment CalPods can be used with firmware option 301, but they will not have temperature compensation capabilities.
