The Anritsu 69097A is a synthesized CW generator delivering precise signal generation across 0.01 GHz to 65 GHz with ultra-low phase noise performance. Purpose-built for high-frequency test environments, it combines fast tuning response with flexible modulation capability and GPIB programmability, making it ideal for local oscillator replacement and demanding RF/microwave applications.
