TITLE: 2.92 mm male-male air-line calibration kit

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory, Operating Unit 67 RF Technology Division, Division 672 Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group

General Statement of Need:

The Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has a requirement to produce broadband electrical calibration artifacts as part of its calibration service for scattering parameters. Precision calibration artifacts are required to maintain accurate traceable calibrations for internal and external customers.

To calibrate the scattering parameters of microwave electronics to 40 GHz, a metrology-grade

2.92 mm air-line calibration kit is required.

Item Specifications and Quantities:

Item 1: 2.92 mm air-line calibration kit Quantity: 1 Specifications: 1.1

1.5

The calibration kit shall include the following standards.

1. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (1.6 cm)

2. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (3.0 cm)

3. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (3.6 cm)

4. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (5.9 cm)

5. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (6.8 cm)

6. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (8.5 cm)

7. 2.92 mm male to male beadless airline (15 cm)

Each calibration standard shall have at least one retractable nut that enables visibility of the reference plane when viewed from a perspective perpendicular to the axis of the calibration standard.

Surfaces involved in electromagnetic transmission and reflection shall be gold coated.

The pin depth of all calibration standards shall be in the range from flush to 0.012 mm recessed behind the reference plane.

The calibration standards shall comply with the normative specifications for 2.92 mm metrology grade pin connectors, as specified in IEEE Standard for Precision Coaxial Connectors at RF, Microwave, and Millimeter-Wave Frequencies—Part 1: General Requirements, Definitions, and Detailed Specifications (IEEE Std 287.1-2021).

Item 2: Dimensional measurements Quantity: 1 Specifications: 2.1 Dimensional measurements of conductor diameters and lengths shall be provided for the center conductor, outer conductor, and pin depth of each calibration standard.
