The Anritsu 68387B is a synthesized sweep/signal generator spanning 0.01 GHz to 60 GHz, delivering phase-coherent RF and microwave signals for demanding laboratory and production environments. Built for high stability and repeatability, it combines fast sweep capability with precise frequency control and excellent phase noise performance. The instrument supports analog, step, manual, and list sweep modes alongside multiple modulation types—AM, FM, phase, pulse, and scan—making it suitable for component characterization, system validation, and local oscillator replacement across R&D and ATE applications.
