Anritsu 68059B Signal Generator

The Anritsu 68059B Signal Generator has the capability to generate frequency between 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. It has a dense and compact physical layout, which makes the 68059B Signal Generator suitable for bench applications. The 68059B Signal Generator comes with the self-test capability. It helps in identification of an operational problem in the instrument. The user can start the test by selection of the soft key for self-testing. The device will start to perform the thorough test and display the error message on the screen on the front panel in case of any fault. This device will timely identify and rectify issues within the device. This ensures that measurements are always correct.

The 68059B Signal Generator also offers the techniques for the calibration of measurements. It helps to mitigate various irregularities in measurements. These irregularities occur due to the environmental conditions that are out-of-tolerance. The recommended operating firmware version for calibration procedures are 2.17 and above. The 68059B also provides the RF level calibration. The instrument makes use of an automated test system. A power meter is used to measure power output at different frequencies. The power meter is controlled through the computer. It enables to calculate the correction factor for RF calibration.  The user can store the values in a non-volatile memory.

The 68059B Signal Generator also incorporates the reset mechanism. It allows the user to set the instrument parameters back to their default values. The signal generator operates on 90 to 132 Vac or 180 to 264 Vac. The standard warm-up time for the device is thirty minutes. The 68059B offers the simple interface for smooth operations. The smart and accurate measurement features enable the 68059B suitable for design applications.
