This unit
The Anritsu MG3694B is a synthesized signal generator delivering 2 GHz to 40 GHz frequency coverage with 0.01 Hz resolution. Purpose-built for RF and microwave R&D, manufacturing, and depot repair, the instrument combines broad frequency range, high spectral purity, and exceptional stability in a single platform. Every frequency step within sweep range is phase-locked, enabling precise characterization of complex high-frequency systems.

Anritsu MG3694B — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu MG3694B. 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 MG3694B 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.
