The Anritsu 69265A Synthesized Signal Generator delivers precise RF signal generation across 0.5 GHz to 40.0 GHz, engineered for demanding lab testing, satellite payload verification, and system-level performance evaluation. Its synthesized architecture provides 1 kHz frequency resolution with exceptional stability: < 2 × 10⁻⁸/day aging and < 2 × 10⁻⁸/°C temperature drift (0°C to 55°C). Optional upgrades enable ultra-tight stability to < 5 × 10⁻¹⁰/day and < 2 × 10⁻¹⁰/°C. Frequency switching reaches < 40 ms to within 1 kHz of final frequency, with step sweep times as fast as < 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz or < 40 ms maximum.
