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.

The instrument responds to the published GPIB commands and responses of the models 6XX00-series mnemonics, and parameter resolutions of the emulated instrument.

Stores front panel settings and nine additional front-panel setups in a non-volatile RAM. A system menu come on at the same functions and values existing when the instrument was turned off.

Instrument self-test is performed when SELF TEST soft-key is selected. If an error is detected, an error message is displayed in a window on the LCD identifying the probable cause.

Disables all frequency, power level, and modulation state displays. Stored setups saved in secure mode remain secured when recalled. Mode selectable from a system menu and GPIB

Returns instrument parameters to predefined default states or values. Any pending GPIB I/O is aborted. Selectable from the system menu

Allows two 68X00B output signals to be swept with a user-selected frequency offset. One 68X00B unit (part no. ND36329)

Allows user to calibrate out path loss due to external switching and cables via entered power table from a GPIB power meter or calculated data. When user level correction is activated, entered power levels are delivered at the point where calibration was performed. Supported power meters are Anritsu ML4803A and HP437B, 438A, and 70100A. Five user tables are available at up to 801 points/table
