This unit
The Anritsu 69387A is a synthesized sweep/signal generator delivering precise signal generation from 0.01 GHz to 60 GHz. Built for RF/microwave system analysis and validation, it combines ultra-low phase noise with rapid frequency tuning and sophisticated modulation capabilities. The instrument executes complex measurement scenarios through step and analog sweep modes, pulse modulation with configurable waveforms, and synchronized multi-modulation control.
Technical Specifications
Frequency Range: 0.01 GHz to 60 GHz Tuning Speed: Typically less than 40 ms to settle within 1 kHz of final frequency. Step sweep maximum switching time is less than 15 ms + 1 ms/GHz step size, or less than 40 ms, whichever is smaller. Phase Noise: Ultra-low SSB phase noise at -100 dBc (10 kHz offset from 10 GHz). Time Base Accuracy: Stability depends on 10 MHz reference. Aging: < 2 × 10⁻⁸/day standard (< 5 × 10⁻¹⁰/day with Option 16). Temperature stability: < 2 × 10⁻⁸/°C across 0°C to 55°C (< 2 × 10⁻¹⁰/°C with Option 16). Reference Output: 10 MHz reference, 0.5 V p-p into 50 Ω, AC coupled, rear-panel BNC.Key Features
- Step Sweep: 1 to 10,000 selectable steps with 1 kHz step resolution (0.1 Hz with Option 11); variable dwell time from 1 ms to 99 seconds
- Analog Frequency Sweep: Sweep width selectable from 1 MHz to full 60 GHz range
- Modulation: Internal AM, FM, Phase, and Pulse modulation with up to 7 waveforms including user-defined arbitrary waveforms

Anritsu 69387A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu 69387A. 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 69387A 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.
