This unit
The Anritsu 68097B is a synthesized CW generator covering 0.01 GHz to 65.0 GHz in a single coaxial output. Engineered for precision RF stimulus and swept measurement applications, it delivers ultra-low phase noise and exceptional frequency stability across demanding test environments. The instrument supports internal AM, FM, ØM, and pulse modulation, plus user-downloaded complex modulation.
Step sweep capability spans 1 to 10,000 steps with 1 kHz minimum step size (optional 0.1 Hz resolution) and configurable dwell times from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Alternate sweep mode enables frequency sweeping between two independently configured ranges at different power levels. Manual sweep provides stepped, phase-locked frequency adjustment with user-selectable step counts or sizes.
Remote interface support enables integration into automated test systems.

Anritsu 68097B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68097B. 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 68097B 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.
