The Anritsu 68197B Synthesized Sweep Generator delivers precision RF and microwave signal generation across 0.01 GHz to 65.0 GHz. Built for R&D and production test environments, it combines broad frequency coverage with low distortion output and flexible modulation. Three sweep modes—continuous, triggered, and single—enable diverse measurement protocols with user-controlled timing. The instrument supports AM, FM, and pulse modulation for comprehensive signal characterization. Its 50 Ohm output impedance with precision RF connectors ensures compatibility across UHF through millimeter-wave applications.
