This unit
The Anritsu 68347B is a synthesized sweep/signal generator delivering phase-locked RF signals from 0.01 to 20 GHz. It generates discrete CW frequencies, performs broad and narrow band sweeps, and supports analog, step, and manual sweep modes with output power ranging from –125 dBm to +17 dBm. The instrument provides ultra-low SSB phase noise of –100 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz, enabling precision testing of receivers, mixers, and RF components in laboratory and production environments.

Anritsu 68347B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68347B. 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 68347B 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.
