This unit
The Anritsu 69369A is a synthesized sweep/signal generator delivering precision signal generation from 0.01 GHz to 40 GHz in a single coaxial output. It combines ultra-low phase noise, wide dynamic range, and advanced modulation capabilities to serve telecommunications, research, and electronics testing applications. The instrument supports multiple sweep modes, internal and external modulation, and integrates with network analyzer systems for comprehensive signal characterization across microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies.

Anritsu 69369A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69369A. 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 69369A 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.
