This unit
The Anritsu 69045A is a synthesized CW generator delivering clean, phase-locked signals from 500 MHz to 20 GHz. Built for RF component testing, receiver calibration, and system validation across industrial, research, and production environments, it combines front-panel control with full remote operation via GPIB. The instrument generates discrete CW frequencies and supports stepped and alternate sweep modes with user-configurable dwell times and switching performance.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Coverage: 500 MHz to 20 GHz with 1 kHz resolution (0.1 Hz with Option 11). Signal Purity: Harmonic and harmonic-related spurious signals measure typically better than -50 dBc across 500 MHz to 2.2 GHz. Frequency Stability (Internal Timebase):- Aging: Less than 2 × 10⁻⁸ per day (less than 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ per day with Option 16)
- Temperature: Less than 2 × 10⁻⁸ per °C over 0 °C to 55 °C (less than 2 × 10⁻¹⁰ per °C with Option 16) Output: 50 Ω impedance. External 10 MHz reference input and 0.5 V p-p reference output (AC coupled, 50 Ω) available via rear-panel BNC connectors. Sweep Performance: Step switching time is less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size or less than 40 ms, whichever is lower. Dwell time per step ranges from 1 ms to 99 seconds.
Key Features
- CW signal generation with phase-locked step and alternate sweep modes
- Dual-range alternate sweep with independent power level control per range

Anritsu 69045A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69045A. 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 69045A 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.
