Anritsu MG3693C Microwave Signal Generator 30GHz

The Anritsu MG3693C is a synthesized signal generator designed for demanding RF and microwave test and measurement applications. It has extensive frequency coverage, precise amplitude control, and high signal purity, making it suitable for a wide range of R&D, manufacturing, and depot repair scenarios.

Technical Specifications Frequency Coverage:

• 0.1 Hz to 31.8 GHz in a single coaxial output.
• Extendable to 500 GHz or beyond with external multipliers.
• Option 22 provides audio frequency coverage from 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz.
• Frequency resolution down to 0.01 Hz for sweep functions.
• Frequency resolution of 0.02 Hz for Option 22 below 10 MHz. Output Power:
• Standard output power specifications are available, with options for higher output.
• Option 15 provides high power RF components to increase output power levels.
• With Option 15 and Option 2, output power can range from -120 dBm to +25 dBm.
• High power output is available, eliminating the need for external amplification.
• Output power is typically derated by 2 dB when Option 22 is installed. Signal Purity:
• Industry-best phase noise performance is a key characteristic.
• Offers three levels of SSB phase noise performance: Standard, Ultra low phase noise (Option 3), and Premium phase noise (Option 3X).
• Phase noise at 10 GHz with Option 3 can be as low as -115 dBc/Hz at a 100 kHz offset.
• Spectral purity is a design focus. Modulation Capabilities:
• Full suite of modulation capabilities for complex signal simulations.
• Supports AM, FM, Pulse, Scan, Phase, I/Q, Analog, and Wideband FM.
• Option 28 offers AM, FM, FM, IM modulation.
• Internal and external AM, FM, Phase, and Pulse modulation are supported for analog signal emulation.
• Option 27 provides a built-in function and pulse generator.
• For IQ modulation, an IF input option allows easy up-conversion of an externally IQ-modulated RF signal.
• Option 20 adds an internal Scan modulator for simulating high-depth amplitude modulated signals.
• No modulation is available in the 0.1 Hz to 10 MHz band when Option 22 is installed. Switching Speed:
• Fast switching speed of 5 ms (typical) reduces test time. Sweep Functions:
• Linear and Logarithmic sweep modes are user-selectable.
• Step size in log sweep increases logarithmically with frequency.
• Variable number of steps from 1 to 10,000.
• Step size can range from 0.01 Hz to the full frequency range of the instrument.
• Dwell time per step is variable from 1 ms to 99 seconds.
• Fixed rate sweep allows setting the total sweep time, including lock time, from 20 ms to 99 seconds.
• Phase-locked control ensures precise frequency control for doubled frequencies.
• Every frequency step in the sweep range is phase-locked. Interfaces:
• Intuitive front panel controls for easy operation.
• Remote control via GPIB (IEEE-488 interface bus) or Ethernet connectivity.
• All instrument functions, settings, and operating modes are controllable via GPIB commands (Native, SCPI). Time Base:
• Internal time base can be calibrated to match an external 10 MHz reference.
• External 10 MHz reference input accepts signals with ±50 Hz tolerance.
• Option 16 adds an ovenized, 10 MHz crystal oscillator for high-stability time base.
• Internal time base stability is < 2 x 10–9/day, or < 5 x 10–10/day with Option 16. Physical and Environmental:
• Dimensions: 429 x 133 x 450 mm.
• Weight: 18 kg.
• Operating Temperature Range: 0 °C to +50 °C.
• Storage Temperature Range: –40 °C to +75 °C.
• Relative Humidity: 5% to 95% at 40 °C.
• Altitude: 4,600 meters.
• EMI: Meets emission and immunity requirements of EN61326: 1998 and EN61000-4-11: 1994.
• Vibration: Random, 5 Hz - 500 Hz, 0.015-0.0039g²/Hz PSD; Sinusoidal, 5 Hz - 55 Hz, 0.33 mm displacement. Compatibility:
• Preserves full backward compatibility with Anritsu MG3690A/B series and previous 68C/69B series of RF and microwave signal generators.
• Drivers are available for MG3690C Series, MG3690B Series, and older models.
