Introduction
Modern wireless communication systems require high-performance components offering low VSWR and low intermodulation distortion at high transmit power levels. To meet these needs, 7-16 connectors are becoming increasingly common in base station transmitters, ampliiers, duplexers, and other products. These connectors conform to IEC 169-4, DIN 47223, European standard EN 122190, and British standard BSEN 122190.
To calibrate our network analyzers for measurements of devices with 7-16 connectors, Keysight Technologies, Inc. offers the 85038 family of calibration kits with precision 7-16 standards. The 11906 family of adapter kits is also available to provide connections between 7-16 connectors and type-N, 3.5 mm, or 7 mm connectors. The female 7-16 connectors in these kits feature special retracted threads that do not compress the gasket when connecting to a general-purpose 7-16 connector. This allows the connectors to be properly mated with only 20 in-lbs (1.6 ft-lbs) of torque, instead of the usual 18.5 to 22 ft-lbs of torque, reducing the possibility of damaging the test ports of a network analyzer.
