This unit
The Anritsu 69053A is a synthesized CW generator delivering stable, phase-coherent signals across 10 MHz to 65 GHz for RF and millimeter-wave testing. Single coaxial output with output power from -125 dBm to +17 dBm and ultra-low phase noise of -100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (referenced at 10 GHz) makes it suited for component characterization, system integration, and automated test environments. Frequency resolution of 1 kHz standard (0.1 Hz with Option 11) and 50 Ω output impedance ensure precision across its full range.
Technical Specifications
- Frequency Range: 10 MHz to 65 GHz (single coaxial output)
- Output Power: -125 dBm to +17 dBm maximum
- Phase Noise: -100 dBc/Hz SSB at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz
- Frequency Resolution: 1 kHz standard; 0.1 Hz with Option 11
- Output Impedance: 50 Ω
- Harmonic Content: -40 dBc (harmonic and non-harmonic noise)
Key Features
- CW stimulus output with step sweep capability (1 to 10,000 steps)
- Step size configurable from 1 kHz to full frequency range; dwell time 1 ms to 99 seconds
- Frequency switching time less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size (typical maximum 40 ms)
- Alternate sweep mode between two ranges with independent power level assignment per range
- Manual sweep with phase-locked frequency tuning between limits
- Internal AM, FM, phase modulation, and pulse modulation; supports user-downloaded complex modulation
- Pulse modulation via internal generator or external control (doublet, triplet, quadruplet configurations)
- Simultaneous synchronized modulations for complex signal generation
- GPIB control interface with SCPI and native Anritsu command support
- Waveguide extensions available to 110 GHz
Typical Applications
- Component characterization and validation at millimeter-wave frequencies
- System integration and subsystem testing
- Automated test system stimulus source
- Phase noise and spectral purity validation
Compatibility & Integration GPIB control enables integration into automated test environments. Option 11 provides 0.1 Hz resolution for ultra-fine frequency tuning requirements.

Anritsu 69053A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69053A. 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 69053A 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.
