This unit
The Anritsu 69137A is a synthesized sweep generator delivering phase-locked RF signal generation across 2 to 20 GHz. Built for precision RF measurements and component characterization, it combines ultra-low SSB phase noise with flexible sweep architecture and programmable frequency agility - making it essential for signal integrity analysis, ATE systems, and laboratory-grade signal simulation.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 2 to 20 GHz Output Power: +17 dBm maximum; −125 dBm minimum Phase Noise (SSB): −100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (referenced at 10 GHz) Sweep Modes:- Analog sweep across selected frequency ranges
- Step sweep: 1 to 10,000 steps with phase-locking at each step; minimum step size 1 kHz (0.1 Hz with Option 11)
- Manual sweep with user-selectable step count or step size
- Alternate sweep between two independent ranges with different power levels Switching Performance: Less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size, or less than 40 ms maximum (typical) Dwell Time: 1 ms to 99 seconds per step Programmable Frequency Agility: Up to 1,000 non-sequential frequencies addressable via GPIB as phase-locked step sweep (volatile memory) Modulation: Internal AM, FM, phase modulation, and pulse modulation; supports user-downloaded complex modulation routines
Key Features
- Phase-locked step switching for deterministic frequency transitions
- Dual-range alternate sweep capability for comparative testing
- Wide dynamic range: 142 dB power span
- Fine-resolution frequency control via optional 0.1 Hz step size
- GPIB remote control and programmability
- Benchtop form factor optimized for laboratory and ATE environments
Typical Applications
- Component and subsystem RF characterization
- Signal integrity and phase noise analysis
- Automated test system signal sourcing
- Broadband filter and amplifier response measurement
Compatibility & Integration GPIB interface enables integration into automated measurement systems. Option 11 reduces minimum frequency step to 0.1 Hz. Member of the Anritsu 69000A synthesizer family.

Anritsu 69137A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69137A. 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 69137A 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.
