Key Features Modulation Capabilities Internal AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation. Seven internal modulating waveforms including Gaussian noise. User-downloaded arbitrary waveforms and external modulation support. Pulse modulation includes doublet, triplet, and quadruplet modes for RADAR blind-spot testing. Simultaneous synchronized modulations enable complex signal generation. Phase modulation available with Option 6. Sweep & Frequency Agility CW or step sweep modes with variable dwell times from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Frequency switching time: <15 ms + 1 ms/GHz or <40 ms maximum. Analog, manual, and alternate sweep modes. Programmable frequency agility stores up to 1000 non-sequential frequencies as phase-locked step sweeps. Step count variable 1 to 10,000; step size 1 kHz minimum (0.1 Hz with Option 11). Sweep width: 1 kHz to full range, independently selected. Integration & Configuration Coaxial output connector. GPIB control for frequency agility and programmable operation. Compact design with optional rack mounting kit (Option 1). Option 17 deletes front panel for remote-control applications.
Typical Applications Signal calibration and verification, lab development, microwave component characterization, communications system testing.
Compatibility & Integration GPIB-controlled interface enables automated test system integration and remote operation.

Anritsu 68045B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68045B. Calibration covers output frequency accuracy, output power level accuracy across the full frequency range, AM/FM/PM/pulse modulation accuracy, harmonic and spurious output levels, and phase noise floor verification. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Anritsu 68045B faults: YIG oscillator failure (no output or loss of lock), step attenuator wear (output drops or steps at set attenuation), ALC loop failure (uncontrolled output power), I/Q modulator assembly failure. HP/Agilent 836xx series most common faults are YIG oscillator failure and step attenuator contact wear causing output steps or drops at specific attenuation settings. Keysight E4428C/E4438C units most commonly develop ALC loop failure and I/Q modulator assembly faults. YIG oscillator replacement and attenuator service are stocked repairs.
