The Anritsu 69167B is a microprocessor-based synthesized sweep/signal generator spanning 0.01 to 40 GHz, engineered for RF design verification and complex signal simulation. It delivers phase-locked CW generation, broad and narrow-band sweeps, and multiple modulation modes including AM, FM, pulse, phase, and scan modulation. Front-panel and remote GPIB control via IEEE-488 provide full operational flexibility, while downloadable complex modulation and seven internal waveforms expand signal generation capabilities.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Coverage: 0.01 to 40 GHz with 100.0 mHz resolution (0.1 Hz with Option 11).
Output Power: +13 dBm to -15 dBm typical; -120 dBm achievable with optional attenuator. Switching time below 5 ms for steps under 100 MHz; typically under 15 ms plus 1 ms per GHz step size or 40 ms maximum.
Phase Noise: Ultra-low SSB phase noise at -107 dBc measured 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz.
Output Impedance: 50 Ω (typical).
Sweep Accuracy: ±30 MHz or ±2 MHz widths (whichever is lesser) at sweep speeds ≤50 MHz/ms.
– Key Features
• Digital frequency and power sweep with step counts from 1 to 10,000
• Step sizes from 1 kHz to full range; dwell time 1 ms to 99 seconds per step
• Alternate sweep mode between two frequency/power ranges
• List sweep mode: 4 tables, 2000 non-sequential frequency/power sets, GPIB-addressable
• Manual sweep mode for phase-locked stepped frequency adjustment
• Swept Delay feature for moving target simulation
• Modulation inputs/outputs via front- or rear-panel BNC connectors

– Modulation Capabilities
AM (linear, log), FM, pulse, phase, and scan modulation. Internal generators supply seven waveforms including Gaussian noise. User-downloadable complex modulation supported.
– Compatibility & Integration
IEEE-488 GPIB interface enables remote command and control. Optional 2C/2D 90 dB step attenuator and Optional 2E 120 dB electronic step attenuator extend dynamic range. Single 13.3 cm package footprint minimizes rack space.
