The Anritsu 69053A is a synthesized CW generator delivering stable, phase-coherent signals across 10 MHz to 65 GHz for RF and millimeter-wave testing. Single coaxial output with output power from -125 dBm to +17 dBm and ultra-low phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (referenced at 10 GHz) makes it suited for component characterization, system integration, and automated test environments. Frequency resolution of 1 kHz standard (0.1 Hz with Option 11) and 50 Ω output impedance ensure precision across its full range.
