This unit
The Anritsu 69163A Synthesized Sweep Generator delivers precision RF and microwave signal generation across 0.01 to 65.0 GHz with output power ranging from -125 dBm to +17 dBm. This instrument combines analog, step, and manual sweep modes with variable stepping from 1 kHz to full-range bandwidth, supporting dwell times from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Switching time remains below 15 ms plus 1 ms per GHz step size, or 40 ms maximum.

Anritsu 69163A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69163A. 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 69163A 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.
