This unit
The Anritsu 68055B Synthesized CW Generator delivers precise continuous wave RF signals across 0.5 GHz to 26.5 GHz. Purpose-built for test labs, R&D environments, and manufacturing facilities, this instrument generates stable, low-noise RF outputs with maximum power of +17 dBm and minimum power of -125 dBm. Engineers rely on the 68055B for component characterization, system validation, and production test where frequency agility and signal purity matter.
Technical Specifications
- Frequency Range: 0.5 GHz to 26.5 GHz
- Output Power: +17 dBm (maximum) to -125 dBm (minimum)
- Phase Noise: Ultra-low single sideband (SSB) phase noise characteristic of Anritsu synthesized generators
- Resolution: Optional 0.1 Hz resolution
- Spurious Signals: Low spurious performance; harmonic and harmonic-related spurious signals typically below -50 dBc within specified frequency bands
- Switching Time: Typically less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size, or less than 40 ms, whichever is less
- Dwell Time: Variable from 1 ms to 99 seconds per step
Key Features
- Internal AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation; user-downloaded complex modulation supported
- Programmable frequency agility - store and address up to 1000 non-sequential frequencies as phase-locked step sweep under GPIB control
- External 10 MHz reference input for enhanced frequency accuracy and stability
- 10 MHz reference output (0.5 V p-p into 50 Ω, AC-coupled) for external synchronization
- GPIB (IEEE-488) interface for automated test system integration
Typical Applications
- Component and subsystem characterization across microwave and millimeter-wave bands
- Receiver sensitivity and linearity testing
- Antenna and filter measurement
- Production test and verification in manufacturing environments
Compatibility & Integration LabWindows instrument drivers support the 680XXB series, enabling control and parameter setting in automated test equipment. GPIB connectivity integrates the 68055B into existing instrument controllers and test systems.

Anritsu 68055B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68055B. 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 68055B 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.
