This unit
The Anritsu 68167C is a synthesized signal generator delivering phase-locked RF signals from 10 MHz to 40 GHz for automated test equipment and component characterization. It combines ultra-low phase noise, accurate power leveling to -120 dBm, and fast frequency switching in a compact single-channel package. The instrument supports multiple sweep modes, analog and digital modulation, and list-based frequency/power sequencing - making it suited for broadband component testing, wireless system validation, and mixer characterization.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Coverage: 10 MHz to 40 GHz with 100.0 mHz resolution. Optional 0.1 Hz resolution available. Output Power: +13 dBm to -15 dBm typical; +17 dBm guaranteed leveled power to 20 GHz. Power accuracy reaches -120 dBm minimum with 0.01 dB step resolution. Phase Noise: -107 dBc/Hz SSB at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz carrier. Spurious Performance: <-60 dBc specified. Switching Speed: <5 ms for frequency steps under 100 MHz; <15 ms + 1 ms/GHz or <40 ms maximum for step sweep. Sweep Modes: Step sweep (1 ms to 99 seconds per step), fixed-rate sweep (20 ms to 99 seconds per step), list sweep (up to 4 tables × 2000 frequency/power pairs), logarithmic sweep, and analog sweep. Manual mode supports phase-locked frequency stepping between limits. Modulation: Internal AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation. User-downloadable arbitrary waveforms supported.Key Features
- Dual-table master/slave synchronization via AUX I/O and SERIAL I/O for coherent two-channel measurements

Anritsu 68167C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68167C. 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 68167C 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.
