The Anritsu 69047A is a synthesized continuous wave generator delivering stable RF signals from 10 MHz to 20 GHz with maximum output power of +13 dBm and phase noise performance of -107 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. Built for precision RF applications, it combines ultra-low phase noise with flexible modulation—AM, FM, pulse, and phase—plus arbitrary waveform capability and advanced sweep modes for laboratory testing, RF subsystem characterization, and automated test equipment integration.
