This unit
The Anritsu 68377C is a synthesized signal generator delivering precise RF and microwave stimulus across 10 MHz to 50 GHz for defense, satellite, and wireless communication test environments. The instrument combines ultra-low phase noise with accurate leveled output power down to −120 dBm in 0.01 dB steps, meeting stringent requirements for sensitive receiver characterization. Frequency switching completes in less than 5 ms, accelerating automated test sequences.
Its compact 13.3 cm footprint minimizes rack real estate while supporting SCPI programmability with IVI-COM and LabVIEW driver compatibility for seamless ATE integration.

Anritsu 68377C — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 68377C. 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 68377C 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.
