This unit
The Anritsu 69255A is a synthesized signal generator delivering precise continuous-wave (CW) output from 0.05 GHz to 26.5 GHz. Engineered for telecommunications, defense, and RF laboratory applications, It has stable frequency generation with 1 kHz resolution and fast switching times suitable for automated test systems. The instrument supports multiple sweep modes, modulation capabilities, and can store up to 1000 non-sequential frequencies for phase-locked step sequencing via GPIB.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.05 GHz to 26.5 GHz Frequency Resolution: 1 kHz (0.1 Hz with Option 11) Frequency Accuracy:- Aging: Less than 2 × 10⁻⁸ per day (standard); less than 5 × 10⁻¹⁰ per day (Option 16)
- Temperature: Less than 2 × 10⁻⁸/°C over 0°C to 55°C (standard); less than 2 × 10⁻¹⁰/°C (Option 16) Phase Noise: Typical −100 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz Output Power: −125 dBm to +17 dBm typical maximum Time Base: Internal high-stability option; external 10 MHz reference input; 10 MHz reference output at 0.5 V p-p into 50 Ω Switching Time: Typically less than 40 ms to within 1 kHz of final frequency
Key Features
- Sweep width independently selectable from 1 MHz to full range
- Dwell time per step: 1 ms to 99 seconds
- Step sweep switching: Typically maximum 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz, or less than 40 ms (whichever is less)
- Alternate sweep mode with independent power level assignment
- Manual sweep with user-selectable step count or step size
- AM, FM, and phase modulation support
- List mode storing up to 1000 frequencies via GPIB (volatile memory)
Typical Applications Telecommunications testing, defense and aerospace system validation, RF component characterization, and integrated automated test environments.
Compatibility & Integration GPIB control interface; phase-locked operation with Wiltron 360B Vector Network Analyzer achieves sweep speeds as low as 8.5 ms/step (100 kHz resolution).

Anritsu 69255A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69255A. 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 69255A 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.
