The Anritsu 68067C is a synthesized CW generator delivering precision RF signal generation across 10 MHz to 40 GHz, with optional extension down to 0.1 Hz. Purpose-built for component testing, subsystem validation, local oscillator replacement, and ATE integration, this instrument combines broad frequency coverage with exceptional spectral purity and output power control. The synthesized architecture ensures frequency stability and repeatability critical to aerospace, defense, and communications applications. Compact form factor minimizes rack footprint while maintaining high-performance signal delivery.
