Product Overview

ANRITSU MG3694A

The Anritsu MG3694A is a broadband high performance Signal Generator that covers RF and microwave frequencies from 2 to 40 GHz (or optionally 0.01 GHz) in a single instrument. For millimeter wave frequencies, the MG3694A coverage can be extended up to 110 GHz or beyond, with external multipliers. The MG3694A Signal Generator is extremely configurable, and able to meet your exact need, minimizing your initial investment. The MG3694A is also very adaptable with a comprehensive list of upgrades for your future needs.

The MG3694A offers all the capabilities of a high-end microwave generator at the highest performance level. It leverages the technology leading phase noise performance of its predecessor.

It offers outstanding output power with the lowest spectral purity content. Frequency can be swept digitally or via an analog ramp sweep. A CW frequency could be phase offset or locked within an external phase lock loop. Amplitude, Frequency, Phase, and Pulse modulations are available externally or internally-driven. An external software package simplifies the use of these modulations simultaneously, and allows the down-loading of user-defined modulation waveforms. For IQ modulation, the IF input option allows the easy up-conversion of an externally IQ-modulated RF signal.
