This unit
The Anritsu 68337C is a synthesized signal generator delivering precision microwave outputs across 2 to 20 GHz. It combines ultra-low phase noise, fast switching, and flexible modulation to support local oscillator duty, network analysis, ATE systems, and advanced radar/satellite applications. Phase-locked step sweeps, list mode programming, and simultaneous modulation modes enable rapid test sequences with minimal settling time.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 2 to 20 GHz with 1 kHz standard resolution (0.1 Hz optional via Option 11). Output Power: +17 dBm maximum leveled to 20 GHz; minimum –125 dBm. Option 15B (High Power) maintains +17 dBm across frequency sub-ranges. Option 22 reduces rated output by 1 dB for models with upper frequency ≤20 GHz. Phase Noise: –107 dBc SSB at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz. Switching Time: Less than 5 ms for sweep steps below 100 MHz.Key Features
- Modulation: Internal AM (0–90% depth, DC to 100 kHz rates), FM (four modes, 10 MHz to 100 MHz deviation), and pulse generation with swept delay for moving target simulation. Doublet, triplet, and quadruplet pulses for radar blind-spot testing. Pulse on/off ratio exceeds 80 dB; rise/fall time under 10 ns.
- Waveform Support: Seven internal modulating waveforms including Gaussian noise and user-defined arbitrary waveforms. Simultaneous synchronized modulations supported.
- Sweep Modes: Digital frequency and power sweep, fast analog sweep, step sweep (1 ms to 99 seconds/step), fixed-rate step sweep (20 ms to 99 seconds/step), alternate sweep between two ranges, manual stepped adjustment, logarithmic step sweep, and list mode with up to 4 tables of 2000 non-sequential frequency/power sets.
- Low Spurious Output: Ultra-low spurious signals ensure clean spectral performance.
Typical Applications Satellite communications, radar systems development, wireless production testing, component characterization, and ATE integration requiring stable local oscillator sources or modulated stimulus signals.

Anritsu 68337C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68337C. 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 68337C 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.
