MG3690B 

RF/Microwave Signal Generator, 0.1 Hz to 70 GHz/325 GHz

Introduction

The MG3690B is the “ideal microwave signal generator” because it offers unsurpassed frequency coverage, leveled output 

power, spectral purity, switching speed, modulation performance, size, upgradeability, reliability, and service. Our signal  

generators are configurable for a broad range of applications from R&D to manufacturing and depot repair. Anritsu provides 

you a total solution including proven reliability and standard 3 year warranty plus pre- and post-sale support that is the best  

in the industry.
