This unit
The Anritsu 68147C is a synthesized signal generator engineered for automatic test equipment (ATE) applications across 10 MHz to 20 GHz. It delivers excellent signal purity, fast output agility, and stable performance in wireless, aerospace, and military test environments. The instrument provides +17 dBm guaranteed leveled power to 20 GHz and extends down to –140 dBm with electronic attenuation, supporting both continuous wave and modulated signal generation with 0.1 Hz frequency resolution.
Technical Specifications
- Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 20 GHz
- Output Power: +17 dBm guaranteed leveled power to 20 GHz; –125 dBm minimum power; –140 dBm with electronic attenuator
- Frequency Resolution: 0.1 Hz
- Phase Noise: –107 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz (SSB)
- Spurious Levels: <–60 dBc
- Switching Time: <5 ms for <100 MHz sweep steps
- Power Sweep Resolution: 0.01 dB
Key Features
- Modulation support: AM, FM, external FM (locked/unlocked), external AM (log/linear), internal pulse modulation, and user-downloaded arbitrary waveforms
- Multiple sweep modes: analog sweep, digital frequency sweep, digital power sweep, step sweep (1 ms to 99 seconds per step), fixed-rate step sweep, alternate sweep, manual sweep, and list sweep (up to 4 tables with 2000 non-sequential frequency/power sets)
- Intuitive menu-driven front panel with GPIB (IEEE 488) interface and optional SCPI programmability
- Compact design minimizing rack space while maintaining high output power for ATE system integration
Typical Applications
- Local oscillator (LO) duty in receiver and transmitter test systems
- Network analysis and frequency-dependent device characterization
- Continuous wave signal generation for component validation
- Multi-tone and modulated signal scenarios requiring fast frequency agility
Compatibility & Integration GPIB control enables seamless integration into existing ATE architectures. Master/slave capability supports synchronized multi-instrument configurations.

Anritsu 68147C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68147C. 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 68147C 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.
