The Anritsu 69197A Synthesized Sweep Generator operates from 0.01 GHz to 65.0 GHz, delivering precise signal generation across an extended microwave and millimeter-wave spectrum. This instrument integrates multiple sweep modes—analog, step, manual, alternate range, and list modes—enabling dynamic frequency analysis for broadband component characterization, radar simulation, and advanced RF/microwave testing. Output power spans from -125 dBm to +17 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution and guaranteed leveled power to +17 dBm across 0–20 GHz. Phase noise performance reaches -100 dBc SSB at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz, supporting demanding measurement applications requiring low-noise signal sources.
