RP-TNC/f calibration 50 Ohm load ? - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Hi, I am trying to eliminate as many interconnections as possible to run SWR test of 2.4 GHz omnidirectional 'rubber-duck' WiFi antenna. I am using Agilent E5071B NA. Its port has N/f interface. Antenna has RP-TNC/f interface. My ideal situation would be to use just one N/m to RP-TNC/m adapter (I got one). I need to calibrate Network Analyzer with 50-Ohm Load, Short, Open with that adapter attached.

Does anybody know where can I get those calibration tools with RP-TNC/f interface? Do they exist? Is it possible to make them on my own?

Any ideas will be appreciated.
