The Anritsu 69195A is a synthesized sweep generator delivering phase-locked signal generation from 0.5 GHz to 65 GHz. It combines manual and automated sweep modes with multiple modulation formats, making it suitable for RF component characterization, network analysis integration, and production testing environments. The instrument executes stepped frequency sweeps with phase coherence across the full band, supports complex user-defined modulation, and integrates via GPIB for automated test sequences.
