This unit
The Anritsu 68345B is a synthesized sweep/signal generator delivering stable, precise RF and microwave signals across 0.5 to 20 GHz. Built for production testing, system validation, and R&D environments, it combines ultra-low phase noise with flexible modulation and sweep capabilities. Remote programming and GPIB control enable integration into automated test workflows.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.5 to 20 GHz Output Power: +13 dBm maximum; −125 dBm minimum Phase Noise: −100 dBc/Hz SSB at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz Sweep Capability: Synthesized step sweep with 1 to 10,000 steps. Step size ranges from 1 kHz (0.1 Hz with Option 11) to full instrument range. Dwell time per step: 1 ms to 99 seconds. Frequency switching time: <15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size or <40 ms maximum (typical). Manual sweep mode provides phase-locked frequency adjustment between limits. Alternate sweep mode enables switching between two independent sweep ranges with different power levels. Sweep width independently selectable from 1 kHz (0.1 Hz with Option 11) to full range.Key Features
- Internal AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation
- User-downloadable complex modulation with 7 internal waveforms including Gaussian noise and arbitrary waveforms
- Pulse modulation controlled externally or by internal pulse generator
- Programmable frequency agility: up to 1,000 non-sequential phase-locked frequencies
- CW and step sweep modes
- Low spurious signal output
- Phase-locked step sweep across full frequency range
Typical Applications Local oscillator replacement, RF/microwave component testing, system validation, production test automation, and research applications requiring frequency agility and low phase noise.
Compatibility & Integration GPIB interface for remote programming and SCPI command control. Sweep subsystem fully programmable for automated test sequences.

Anritsu 68345B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68345B. 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 68345B 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.
