The Anritsu 69163A Synthesized Sweep Generator delivers precision RF and microwave signal generation across 0.01 to 65.0 GHz with output power ranging from -125 dBm to +17 dBm. This instrument combines analog, step, and manual sweep modes with variable stepping from 1 kHz to full-range bandwidth, supporting dwell times from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Switching time remains below 15 ms plus 1 ms per GHz step size, or 40 ms maximum.
