The Anritsu 69165A Synthesized Sweep Generator delivers signal generation across 0.5 to 40 GHz for telecommunications, defense, and aerospace testing. This instrument combines synthesizer, sweep generator, and signal source functions into a single platform, enabling precise component and system validation across complex test environments.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.5 GHz to 40 GHz
Reference Output: 10 MHz reference signal at 0.5 V p-p into 50 Ω, AC coupled, via rear panel BNC connector.
Sweep Capabilities: Independently selectable sweep width from 1 MHz to full range continuous sweep. Sweep speed reaches final frequency within 40 ms to ±1 kHz. Step sweep speed: less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size or less than 40 ms, whichever is smaller. Dwell time per step variable from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Supports auto, external TTL, single, and reset trigger modes.
Sweep Modes: Manual sweep, synthesized sweep, analog sweep, step frequency sweep, CW power sweep, alternate sweep, and master/slave sweep configurations.
Modulation: Internal AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation capabilities. User-downloadable complex modulation supported.
Interface: IEEE-488 (GPIB) remote control standard. Supports SCPI and product-specific NATIVE command sets.
