This unit
The Anritsu 68297B is a synthesized signal generator spanning 0.01 GHz to 65.0 GHz, engineered for RF and microwave testing in aerospace, satellite communications, and advanced telecommunications. It delivers maximum output power to +17 dBm with ultra-low phase noise and precise frequency control. The instrument supports analog, step, and manual sweep modes with multiple modulation types, programmable frequency agility up to 1000 non-sequential frequencies, and fast switching times under 15 ms.
Dual GPIB ports enable automated testing and remote instrument control.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.01 GHz to 65.0 GHz Output Power:- Maximum: +17 dBm
- Minimum: -125 dBm
- Leveled power guaranteed to +17 dBm up to 20 GHz Phase Noise (SSB):
- -107 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz
- -66 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from 20 GHz
- -54 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from 40 GHz Frequency Resolution: 1 kHz standard; 0.1 Hz with Option 11 Switching Time:
- <15 ms +1 ms/GHz step size or <40 ms (whichever is less, typical max)
- <5 ms for steps <100 MHz
Key Features Modulation: Internal AM, FM, and pulse modulation with 7 waveforms including Gaussian noise and user-defined arbitrary waveforms. Pulse modulation supports doublet, triplet, and quadruplet configurations for RADAR blind spot testing. External FM (locked/unlocked) and AM (log/linear) supported. Simultaneous synchronized modulations available. Sweep Modes: CW or step sweep, analog sweep, manual sweep, and alternate sweep mode (sweeps between two ranges with independent power levels per range). Step sweep configurable from 1 to 10,000 steps with dwell times from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Analog sweep width 1 kHz to full range; sweep time 30 ms to 99 seconds with ±30 MHz accuracy (or ±2 MHz widths for sweep speeds ≤50 MHz/ms). Frequency Agility: Up to 1,000 non-sequential frequencies storable and addressable as phase-locked step sweep via GPIB control.
Compatibility & Integration Dual GPIB ports standard. Remote interface options enable automated test system integration and programmable control of all instrument functions.

Anritsu 68297B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68297B. 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 68297B 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.
