The Anritsu 69077A Synthesized CW Generator delivers precise, stable continuous-wave signals across 0.01 to 50 GHz. Engineered for telecommunications, radar, and defense test environments, this instrument combines low single-sideband phase noise, minimal spurious content, and controlled output power to serve as a local oscillator replacement and general-purpose RF/microwave signal source.
Technical Specifications
