TITLE: 3.5 mm Microwave Airline Calibration Kit

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.01)

General Statement of Need:

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), CTL/RFT, in Boulder, CO has a requirement to produce broadband electrical calibration artifacts as part of its calibration service for scattering parameter traceability up to 33 GHz. Precision manufactured calibration artifacts are required to maintain accurate traceable calibrations for internal and external customers.

Development in coaxial connector technology has been made allowing production of higher precision airline calibration artifacts in the 3.5 mm connector type. To calibrate the scattering parameters of passive microwave electronics to 33 GHz, a metrology grade 3.5 mm airline kit is required.

Item Specifications and Quantities:

Item 1: 3.5 mm Microwave Airline Calibration Kit Quantity: 1 EACH Specifications: 1.1 Calibration artifacts shall meet the IEEE specification for

Laboratory Precision Connectors for 3.5 mm connectors.

1.2 Airline calibration artifacts shall be beadless and surfaces involved in electromagnetic transmission and reflection shall be gold coated.

1.3 Female collets shall be slotless.

1.4 Contain the following standards:

1. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (3.94 cm)

2. 3.5 mm Female to Male airline (4.53 cm)

3. 3.5 mm Female to Male airline (4.94 cm)

4. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (7.0 cm)

5. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (5 cm)

6. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (5.3cm)

7. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (6cm)

8. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (7.5cm)

9. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (10cm)

10. 3.5 mm Female to Male airlines (15cm)

1.5 Contain a 8 in-lbs torque wrench, and any necessary software and documentation.

1.6 Dimensional measurements of conductor diameters and lengths shall be provided
