This unit
The Anritsu 69063A is a synthesized continuous wave generator delivering stable, phase-locked signals from 2 GHz to 40 GHz. Built on microprocessor control, it supports internal AM, FM, ΦM, and pulse modulation alongside user-downloaded complex modulation. The instrument executes broad and narrow-band sweeps with programmable step agility - up to 10,000 steps with dwell times from 1 ms to 99 seconds and switching times typically under 15 ms plus 1 ms per GHz step size.
Manual and alternate sweep modes enable flexible frequency selection between independent ranges at differing power levels. Frequency agility extends to 1000 non-sequential frequencies under GPIB control for phase-locked step sweeps. Sweep width and step size adjust independently from 1 kHz to full range (0.1 Hz with Option 11).
Output power ranges from –125 dBm to +9.0 dBm nominal, extending to +17 dBm maximum; step attenuator configuration reaches +7.0 dBm to +3.0 dBm. Remote operation via IEEE-488 GPIB provides full command of all functions except power on/standby. The unit is rackmount-configured and qualified for Option 11 (0.1 Hz resolution) and calibration services.

Anritsu 69063A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69063A. 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 69063A 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.

Anritsu 69063A calibration cost
NIST-traceable calibration for the Anritsu 69063A is $450 (standard — pass/fail certificate and calibration sticker) or $650 (full measured data at every test point, reference standards documented, traceability chain included). Calibration for this instrument 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. Turnaround is 1 to 3 business days after receipt. See full calibration details →
