The Anritsu 69385A is a synthesized sweep/signal generator delivering precise RF and microwave signal generation across 0.5 GHz to 60 GHz. It combines multiple sweep modes—linear, logarithmic, list, and frequency hop—with comprehensive modulation capabilities (AM, FM, and pulse) to address demanding production testing, R&D, and system integration workflows. The instrument offers output power from -120 dBm to +20 dBm with frequency switching under 50 ms and amplitude switching under 20 ms, ensuring rapid stimulus application across broadband test scenarios.
