SYNTHESIZED SWEEP/SIGNAL GENERA TOR

69A, 68B series

10 MHz to 65 GHz

A microwave synthesizer for any application

Anritsu Wiltron’s El Toro microwave synthesizers present 80 models, providing you the right synthesizer for your LO duty, component analysis, signal simulation, or A.T.E. applications. The 69A family, with the lowest Single Sideband (SSB) phase noise available, provides the ultimate performance at moderate cost, and includes models with unprecedented 0.01 to 65 GHz frequency coverage.

Features

•120 models for perfect fit to any application

•

Ultra-low SSB phase noise; –100 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz

•0.01 to 65 GHz frequency coverage in a single coaxial output

•Waveguide extensions to 110 GHz

•Economical upgrades

•+17 dBm maximum power, –125 dBm minimum power

•Internal AM, FM, øM, pulse modulation

•User down-loaded complex modulation

Applications

•CW stimulus

The 69000A/68000B Synthesized CW Generators feature 10 MHz to 65 GHz frequency coverage. CW or step sweep, low SSB phase noise and spurious signals, output levels to +17 dBm, and optional

0.1 Hz resolution combine to make these sources ideal for local oscillator replacement applications. To meet requirements that expand over time, economical upgrades are available to any higher performing model. For the most demanding CW requirements, the 69000A and 68000B provide the ultimate in performance.

GPIB

•Swept measurements

The 69100A/68000B Synthesized Sweep Generators feature 10 MHz to 65 GHz analog, step, and manual sweep capability. Output levels to +17 dBm and optional 0.1 Hz resolution are available at prices comparable to CW only sources. To meet requirements that expand over time, economical upgrades are available to any higher performing model. Features, performance, and value combine to make the 69100A and 68100B the optimum sources for your netw ork analysis and swept A.T.E. source applications.

High performance modulation for signal simulation requirements

The 69200A/68200B Synthesized Signal Generators provide AM and FM via external modulating signals or internal arbitrary waveform generators. The internal generators offer 7 modulating waveforms, including Gaussian noise, as well as user-defined arbitrary wavef orms. Pulse modulation parameters can be set externally or by the internal pulse generator. Doublet, triplet, or quadruplet pulses make RADAR blind spot testing easy. Simultaneous synchronized modulations let you set complex signal scenarios across the entire 10 MHz to 65 GHz frequency range.

•Complete synthesized modulation and sweep capabilities for

any signal requirement

The 69300A/68300B Synthesized Sweep/Signal Generators provide all the capabilities of our CW generators, sweep generators , and signal generators in a single package. The 69300A is the highest performance universal synthesized signal generator available today.
