This unit
The Anritsu 68347C is a synthesized signal generator spanning 10 MHz to 20 GHz, engineered for RF and microwave component testing in ATE and R&D environments. It delivers +17 dBm guaranteed leveled power across its full range with 1 kHz frequency resolution and 0.01 dB output power steps. The instrument combines ultra-low SSB phase noise (-107 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz), sub-5 ms switching time, and advanced modulation flexibility
AM, FM, pulse, phase, and scan modes with seven internal waveforms plus user-defined options.
Pulse modulation supports radar blind spot simulation, recovery time testing, and moving target emulation. Sweep capabilities span digital frequency and power sweep, analog sweep, step sweep with up to 10,000 phase-locked steps adjustable from 1 ms to 99 seconds per step, logarithmic sweep, and alternate sweep between two ranges. List mode stores up to 4 tables with 2000 non-sequential frequency/power sets.
Optional 110 dB step attenuator (Option 2A) extends dynamic range to -120 dBm minimum output; Option 11 provides 0.1 Hz frequency resolution. Internal noise generators (Gaussian and uniform) support controlled jitter in digital receiver testing. Output power flatness remains within 4.0 dB (0.01–0.05 GHz) and 2.0 dB (0.05–20 GHz) typical.
Less than 5 ms switching time enables rapid frequency and power transitions across demanding automated test sequences.

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