This unit
The Anritsu 69269A is a synthesized signal generator delivering phase-locked RF output across 0.01 to 40 GHz with output power spanning –125 dBm to +17 dBm in 0.01 dB steps. Built for defense electronics, microwave link testing, and RF design verification, it combines ultra-low phase noise (–100 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz) with flexible modulation and sweep architectures.

Anritsu 69269A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69269A. 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 69269A 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.
