The Anritsu 68037B Synthesized CW Generator features 2 to 20 GHz frequency coverage. CW or step sweep, low SSB phase noise and spurious signals, output levels to +17 dBm, and optional 0.1 Hz resolution combine to make these sources ideal for local oscillator replacement applications. To meet requirements that expand over time, economical upgrades are available to any higher performing model. For the most demanding CW requirements, the 68037B provides the ultimate in performance.

-
Ultra-low SSB phase noise; –83 dBc at 10 kHz offset from 10 GHz
-
2 to 20 GHz frequency coverage in a single coaxial output
-
Waveguide extensions to 110 GHz
-
Economical upgrades

|
CW power sweep |
Range |
Sweeps between any two power levels at a single CW frequency |
|
