This unit
The Anritsu 68363B is a synthesized sweep/signal generator spanning 2 GHz to 40 GHz, engineered for microwave and millimeter-wave testing. This instrument delivers flexible signal generation through multiple sweep architectures - analog, step, manual, and alternate modes - alongside discrete CW frequency capability. Phase-locked synthesis ensures precise frequency control across broad and narrow-band applications.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 2 GHz to 40 GHz Output Power: -20 dBm to +20 dBm standard; -10 dBm to +30 dBm with Option 15B (High Power) Phase Noise: Ultra-low SSB phase noise performance (typical -100 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz) Power Level Flatness (Analog Sweep): ±2.0 dB maximum variation from 2 to 20 GHz; ±4.0 dB from 20 to 40 GHz RF Output: Type K female connector Physical: 429 mm (W) × 133 mm (H) × 597 mm (D); ≤23 kgKey Features Analog Sweep: Phase-lock corrected operation to 100 MHz sweep width with adjustable start and stop frequencies. Step Sweep: Up to 10,000 steps with user-selectable step sizes from 1 kHz to full range (0.1 Hz with Option 11). Dwell time 1 ms to 99 seconds; switching time typically <15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size, or <40 ms maximum. Manual Sweep: Phase-locked frequency adjustments between user-defined limits; supports 1000 non-sequential frequency storage for GPIB-addressed step sweeps. Alternate Sweep: Dual-range operation with independent power level control per range. Modulation: Internal AM, FM, and phase modulation (ØM); user-downloadable complex modulation support.
Typical Applications Microwave and millimeter-wave component testing, receiver characterization, system integration validation, and frequency-dependent performance measurement across the 2–40 GHz band.
Compatibility & Integration IEEE-488 GPIB interface enables remote control and system integration.

Anritsu 68363B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68363B. 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 68363B 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.
