This unit
The Anritsu 68077C is a synthesized signal generator delivering precise CW (Continuous Wave) signals across 10 MHz to 50 GHz. Built on the configurable 68000C series platform, it serves R&D and production environments requiring stable, low-noise signal generation with rapid frequency switching. The instrument combines fast 5 ms switching time for sub-100 MHz sweep steps with leveled output power spanning -120 dBm to +12 dBm in 0.01 dB increments, making it suitable for local oscillator applications and complex signal generation tasks demanding phase coherence and spectral purity.
Technical Specifications
- Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 50 GHz
- Frequency Resolution: 100.0 mHz
- Output Power: +12 dBm to -15 dBm typical; leveled output from -120 dBm to +12 dBm in 0.01 dB steps
- Switching Time: 5 ms for <100 MHz sweep steps; variable 1 ms/step to 99 seconds/step in step sweep mode
- Signal Type: Synthesized CW generator
Key Features
- Ultra-low SSB phase noise characteristic of the 68C/69B series
- Ultra-low spurious signals
- Digital frequency and power sweep capabilities
- Step sweep with 1 to 10,000 programmable steps
- List mode supporting up to 4 tables with 2000 non-sequential frequency/power sets via GPIB or front panel control
- Manual stepped sweep with phase-locked frequency adjustment between limits
- Linear and logarithmic sweep selection
- Non-volatile memory storage for list sweep tables
Applications Ideal for high-frequency measurement systems, RF/microwave component testing, local oscillator subsystems, and broadband frequency synthesis requiring phase stability and minimal spectral artifacts.
Compatibility & Integration GPIB and front panel control interfaces enable integration into automated test environments. Membership in the 68000C configurable platform series allows system expansion through modular architecture.

Anritsu 68077C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68077C. 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 68077C 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.
