This unit
The Anritsu 69165A Synthesized Sweep Generator delivers signal generation across 0.5 to 40 GHz for telecommunications, defense, and aerospace testing. This instrument combines synthesizer, sweep generator, and signal source functions into a single platform, enabling precise component and system validation across complex test environments.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.5 GHz to 40 GHz Reference Output: 10 MHz reference signal at 0.5 V p-p into 50 Ω, AC coupled, via rear panel BNC connector. Sweep Capabilities: Independently selectable sweep width from 1 MHz to full range continuous sweep. Sweep speed reaches final frequency within 40 ms to ±1 kHz. Step sweep speed: less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size or less than 40 ms, whichever is smaller. Dwell time per step variable from 1 ms to 99 seconds. Supports auto, external TTL, single, and reset trigger modes. Sweep Modes: Manual sweep, synthesized sweep, analog sweep, step frequency sweep, CW power sweep, alternate sweep, and master/slave sweep configurations. Modulation: Internal AM, FM, phase, and pulse modulation capabilities. User-downloadable complex modulation supported. Interface: IEEE-488 (GPIB) remote control standard. Supports SCPI and product-specific NATIVE command sets.Key Features
- Wide instantaneous bandwidth from 0.5 to 40 GHz eliminates multiple instruments
- Flexible sweep width selection independent of frequency range
- Fast sweep settling (40 ms across full span) minimizes test cycle time
- Multiple trigger modes enable seamless integration into automated test systems
- Integrated reference output for phase-coherent measurements
- Multi-mode sweep architecture (manual, synthesized, analog, step frequency, power sweep) accommodates diverse test requirements
Typical Applications
- Component characterization across microwave and millimeter-wave bands
- System validation in defense and aerospace platforms
- Telecommunications equipment testing
- Broadband filter and amplifier measurement
- Network analyzer source operation
Compatibility & Integration GPIB interface enables direct integration with automated test systems and network analyzers. Command-line control via SCPI ensures compatibility with industry-standard test software.

Anritsu 69165A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69165A. 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 69165A 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.
