    loading cal kit data from floppy into 8753 analyzer

    Glad to have helped. Sorry, but your question has gone right over my head.

    loading cal kit data from floppy into 8753 analyzer

    Here is the link to the cal coefficients for 85052D http://na.tm.agilent.com/pna/caldefs/PNA/85052D.htm

    loading cal kit data from floppy into 8753 analyzer

    I have 2 8753d units 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm. I think I see your problem. I have 85052D kit and i looked at the disl. If the disk you have has the cal data in BDAT format (as mine does), then I think you you can't import it into the 8753 without the use of an external (HP Old style) computer...

    loading cal kit data from floppy into 8753 analyzer

    That is how I load a cal kit from the disc supplied to me in kits I have bought from both maury and agilent.

    how to use HP crystal detectors

    I'm really stretching my memory here, but I think HP had a cable you could attach to the BNC and connect to a scalar network analyzer. I used those detectors with a ratio meter and couplers or VSWR meter and slotted line. David

    Resistive Cards Modeling in CST

    I don't use CST, but I do use ANSOFT HFSS. Couldn't you just assign an impedance to the surface of the resistive card? In HFSS, you just pick the surface and assign the impedance in ohms/square. David

    SMB and SMC connectors for joining RF PCBs

    Having worked in the connector industry for 38 years, I can tell you you are going to have a lot of trouble finding this item. Also, you need to clarify the genders of each end. Male is ambiguous. Plug (pin or socket contact) is used for cable mounted connectors, and receptacle (pin or socket...

    CPW SM attenuator chip

    You might want to look at Micrometrics. I have designed both T and Pi attenuator chips that they have manufactured for me for use to 18 Ghz, but they are larger than 0805 in order to handle higher power levels. These chips http://www.micrometrics.com/pdfs/AP_Datasheet.pdf are very small (.03"...

    2300 watt 2 Ghz shorting switch

    We weld the solenoid wires to the contacts on our other switches and will do the same here. As to soldering the switch to the board, we will be having discussions with the customer about that, but usually for a surface mount it will some sort of solder reflow mmethod as on our other switches...

    2300 watt 2 Ghz shorting switch

    Thank you biff44. We have condiered all of these parameters. Our main concern is the actual temperature to which this device will heat up. My simulations indicate that this will get to approximately 120C with a convection coefficient of 10. The customer tells us there is no concection within...

    2300 watt 2 Ghz shorting switch

    It is 100% reflective in both cases. It is as described. Normally Open. Then, 24 VDC is applied to the solenoid, and a shorting bar is actuated across the NO contact to ground (inside the case). The power is 200 watts at 2 Ghz. I am told by the customer that 2.77 A Peak is the max current...

    2300 watt 2 Ghz shorting switch

    It must be solenoid operated. A GDT is not an option. Customer seems to think it will work. I'm not so sure.
