The Anritsu 69359A is a synthesized sweep/signal generator delivering precision RF signal generation across 0.01 GHz to 26.5 GHz. Operating in both sweep and continuous wave modes, it provides ultra-low phase noise and high spectral purity for demanding radar, communication, and advanced test environments. The instrument supports multiple modulation formats—AM, FM, and Pulse—with simultaneous synchronized modulation capability. Its flexible sweep architecture accommodates alternate, analog, power, and step modes, with programmable frequency agility storing up to 1000 non-sequential frequencies under GPIB control.
