The Anritsu 69087B is a synthesized CW generator delivering ultra-low noise performance across 0.01 GHz to 60 GHz, engineered for RF and microwave applications demanding exceptional signal purity. This instrument combines wide dynamic range output control, fast frequency switching, and integrated list-mode capability for automated test environments. Its compact 13.3 cm footprint minimizes rack real estate while maintaining the high output power required to compensate for switching losses and cable attenuation in complex ATE systems.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.01 GHz to 60 GHz. Optional frequency extension available down to 0.1 Hz.
