Economic Area. Definitions that deviate from the standard definition may also exist in other economic
areas or military applications. It is therefore essential to make sure that the tags described here are
always used only in connection with the related product documentation and the related product. The
use of tags in connection with unrelated products or documentation can result in misinterpretation and
thus contribute to personal injury or material damage.

Basic safety instructions

1. The product may be operated only under
the operating conditions and in the
positions specified by the manufacturer. Its
ventilation must not be obstructed during
operation. Unless otherwise specified, the
following requirements apply to
Rohde & Schwarz products:
prescribed operating position is always with
the housing floor facing down, IP protection
2X, pollution severity 2, overvoltage
category 2, use only in enclosed spaces,
max. operation altitude 2000 m above sea
level, max. transport altitude 4500 m above
sea level.
Unless specified otherwise in the data
sheet, a tolerance of ±10% shall apply to
the nominal voltage and of ±5% to the
nominal frequency.

2. Applicable local or national safety
regulations and rules for the prevention of
accidents must be observed in all work
performed. The product may be opened
only by authorized, specially trained
personnel. Prior to performing any work on

the product or opening the product, the
product must be disconnected from the
supply network. Any adjustments,
replacements of parts, maintenance or
repair must be carried out only by technical
personnel authorized by Rohde & Schwarz.
Only original parts may be used for
replacing parts relevant to safety (e.g.
power switches, power transformers,
fuses). A safety test must always be
performed after parts relevant to safety
have been replaced (visual inspection, PE
conductor test, insulation resistance
measurement, leakage current
measurement, functional test).

3. As with all industrially manufactured goods,
the use of substances that induce an
allergic reaction (allergens, e.g. nickel)
such as aluminum cannot be generally
excluded. If you develop an allergic
reaction (such as a skin rash, frequent
sneezing, red eyes or respiratory
difficulties), consult a physician immediately
to determine the cause.

深圳市盛腾仪器仪表有限公司 Tel:[phone] Fax:[phone] Website: www.Sengt.com

Safety Instructions

1171.0000.42-03.00 Sheet 3

4. If products/components are mechanically
and/or thermically processed in a manner
that goes beyond their intended use,
hazardous substances (heavy-metal dust
such as lead, beryllium, nickel) may be
released. For this reason, the product may
only be disassembled, e.g. for disposal
purposes, by specially trained personnel.
Improper disassembly may be hazardous to
your health. National waste disposal
regulations must be observed.

5. If handling the product yields hazardous
substances or fuels that must be disposed
of in a special way, e.g. coolants or engine
oils that must be replenished regularly, the
safety instructions of the manufacturer of
the hazardous substances or fuels and the
applicable regional waste disposal
regulations must be observed. Also
observe the relevant safety instructions in
the product documentation.

6. Depending on the function, certain products
such as RF radio equipment can produce
an elevated level of electromagnetic
radiation. Considering that unborn life
requires increased protection, pregnant
women should be protected by appropriate
measures. Persons with pacemakers may
also be endangered by electromagnetic
radiation. The employer/operator is
required to assess workplaces where there
is a special risk of exposure to radiation
and, if necessary, take measures to avert
the danger.

7. Operating the products requires special
training and intense concentration. Make
certain that persons who use the products
are physically, mentally and emotionally fit
enough to handle operating the products;
otherwise injuries or material damage may
occur. It is the responsibility of the
employer to select suitable personnel for
operating the products.

8. Prior to switching on the product, it must be
ensured that the nominal voltage setting on
the product matches the nominal voltage of
the AC supply network. If a different voltage
is to be set, the power fuse of the product
may have to be changed accordingly.

9. In the case of products of safety class I with
movable power cord and connector,
operation is permitted only on sockets with
earthing contact and protective earth
connection.

10. Intentionally breaking the protective earth
connection either in the feed line or in the

product itself is not permitted. Doing so can
result in the danger of an electric shock
from the product. If extension cords or
connector strips are implemented, they
must be checked on a regular basis to
ensure that they are safe to use.

11. If the product has no power switch for
disconnection from the AC supply, the plug
of the connecting cable is regarded as the
disconnecting device. In such cases, it
must be ensured that the power plug is
easily reachable and accessible at all times
(corresponding to the length of connecting
cable, approx. 2 m). Functional or
electronic switches are not suitable for
providing disconnection from the AC
supply. If products without power switches
are integrated in racks or systems, a
disconnecting device must be provided at
the system level.

12. Never use the product if the power cable is
damaged. Check the power cable on a
regular basis to ensure that it is in proper
operating condition. By taking appropriate
safety measures and carefully laying the
power cable, ensure that the cable cannot
be damaged and that no one can be hurt by
e.g. tripping over the cable or suffering an
electric shock.

13. The product may be operated only from
TN/TT supply networks fused with max.
16 A (higher fuse only after consulting with
the Rohde & Schwarz group of companies).

14. Do not insert the plug into sockets that are
dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all
the way into the socket. Otherwise, this can
result in sparks, fire and/or injuries.

15. Do not overload any sockets, extension
cords or connector strips; doing so can
cause fire or electric shocks.

16. For measurements in circuits with voltages
V

rms

> 30 V, suitable measures (e.g.
appropriate measuring equipment, fusing,
current limiting, electrical separation,
insulation) should be taken to avoid any
hazards.

17. Ensure that the connections with
information technology equipment comply
with IEC 950/EN 60950.

18. Unless expressly permitted, never remove
the cover or any part of the housing while
the product is in operation. Doing so will
expose circuits and components and can
lead to injuries, fire or damage to the
product.

Safety Instructions

1171.0000.42-03.00 Sheet 4

19. If a product is to be permanently installed,
the connection between the PE terminal on
site and the product's PE conductor must
be made first before any other connection
is made. The product may be installed and
connected only by a license electrician.

20. For permanently installed equipment
without built-in fuses, circuit breakers or
similar protective devices, the supply circuit
must be fused in such a way that suitable
protection is provided for users and
products.

21. Do not insert any objects into the openings
in the housing that are not designed for this
purpose. Never pour any liquids onto or into
the housing. This can cause short circuits
inside the product and/or electric shocks,
fire or injuries.

22. Use suitable overvoltage protection to
ensure that no overvoltage (such as that
caused by a thunderstorm) can reach the
product. Otherwise the operating personnel
will be endangered by electric shocks.

23. Rohde & Schwarz products are not
protected against penetration of water,
unless otherwise specified (see also safety
instruction 1.). If this is not taken into
account, there exists the danger of electric
shock for the user or damage to the
product, which can also lead to personal
injury.

24. Never use the product under conditions in
which condensation has formed or can form
in or on the product, e.g. if the product was
moved from a cold to a warm environment.

25. Do not close any slots or openings on the
product, since they are necessary for
ventilation and prevent the product from
overheating. Do not place the product on
soft surfaces such as sofas or rugs or
inside a closed housing, unless this is well
ventilated.

26. Do not place the product on heat­generating devices such as radiators or fan
heaters. The temperature of the
environment must not exceed the maximum
temperature specified in the data sheet.

27. Batteries and storage batteries must not be
exposed to high temperatures or fire. Keep
batteries and storage batteries away from
children. Do not short-circuit batteries and
storage batteries.
If batteries or storage batteries are
improperly replaced, this can cause an
explosion (warning: lithium cells). Replace

the battery or storage battery only with the
matching Rohde & Schwarz type (see
spare parts list). Batteries and storage
batteries must be recycled and kept
separate from residual waste. Batteries and
storage batteries that contain lead, mercury
or cadmium are hazardous waste. Observe
the national regulations regarding waste
disposal and recycling.

28. Please be aware that in the event of a fire,
toxic substances (gases, liquids etc.) that
may be hazardous to your health may
escape from the product.

29. The product can be very heavy. Be careful
when moving it to avoid back or other
physical injuries.

30. Do not place the product on surfaces,
vehicles, cabinets or tables that for reasons
of weight or stability are unsuitable for this
purpose. Always follow the manufacturer's
installation instructions when installing the
product and fastening it to objects or
structures (e.g. walls and shelves).

31. Handles on the products are designed
exclusively for personnel to hold or carry
the product. It is therefore not permissible
to use handles for fastening the product to
or on means of transport such as cranes,
fork lifts, wagons, etc. The user is
responsible for securely fastening the
products to or on the means of transport
and for observing the safety regulations of
the manufacturer of the means of transport.
Noncompliance can result in personal injury
or material damage.

32. If you use the product in a vehicle, it is the
sole responsibility of the driver to drive the
vehicle safely. Adequately secure the
product in the vehicle to prevent injuries or
other damage in the event of an accident.
Never use the product in a moving vehicle if
doing so could distract the driver of the
vehicle. The driver is always responsible for
the safety of the vehicle. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for accidents or
collisions.

33. If a laser product (e.g. a CD/DVD drive) is
integrated in a Rohde & Schwarz product,
do not use any other settings or functions
than those described in the product
documentation. Otherwise this may be
hazardous to your health, since the laser
beam can cause irreversible damage to
your eyes. Never try to take such products
apart, and never look into the laser beam.

R&S FSH Putting into Operation

1145.5973.12 1.3 E-14

Setting up the Instrument

The Handheld Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSH has been designed for operation in labs as well as for on­site use for service and maintenance applications.

For any application, the R&S FSH can be set up to optimize ease of operation and the viewing angle of
the display.

When used as a desktop instrument, the R&S FSH can
either be laid flat or it can be propped up using the
fold-out support at the back.

The R&S FSH can be laid flat for operation from
above. Because the grip is slightly raised at the back,
the R&S FSH is tilted forward to give the optimum
viewing angle for the display.

For use as a desktop, fold out the support at the rear
so that the instrument can easily be operated from the
front and the display can be read easily (see Fig.).

For on-site installation and service measurements, it is
best to hold the instrument with both hands. All the
controls are easy to reach (e.g. with your thumbs). Use
the R&S FSH-Z25 carrying bag so that you have both
hands free to adjust the DUT. The R&S FSH can be
placed in the hanger provided on the open bag for this
purpose.

To secure the instrument in place, affix its carrying handle to the front of the carrying bag with the
Velcro tape.

The carrying handle at the top of the R&S FSH can also be used to hang it from cabinet doors, for
example. The shape of the grip ensures that the instrument does not fall off.

Putting into Operation R&S FSH

1145.5973.12 1.4 E-14

Switching on the Spectrum Analyzer

The R&S FSH can be powered using either the included power supply unit or internal battery. When
fully charged, the built-in nickel metal hydride battery provides an operating time of about four hours. On
delivery, the battery in the R&S FSH may be flat. Therefore, it must be charged before the R&S FSH
can be used. If the instrument is switched off, the charging time is four hours.
When the adapter is used, the R&S FSH’s battery is charged simultaneously.

Insert the jack plug of the power supply unit into the POWER ADAPTER connector on the right-hand
side of the carrying handle so that it locks into position. Then connect the power supply unit to an AC
outlet. The voltage range of the power supply unit is 100 V to 240 V.

Caution!

Only the supplied power supply unit – the R&S FSH-Z33 – may be used to power the
R&S FSH or charge the battery from the AC supply.

Prior to use, make sure that the AC supply voltage is compatible with the voltage
specified on the power supply unit. Before inserting the power supply unit into the AC
power outlet, attach the appropriate adapter.

In vehicles, the battery can be charged from the cigarette lighter socket using the R&S FSH-Z21 cable.

Caution!

It is strictly forbidden to operate the R&S FSH via the cigarette lighter socket while the
vehicle is in motion or the engine is running. In these cases, the R&S FSH must be off.

While the battery of the R&S FSH is being charged via the R&S FSH-Z21 adapter with
the stock number 1145.5873.02, the adapter must not be connected to the vehicle’s

ground (for example, via the RF connector). This does not apply to the new

R&S FSH-Z21 adapter with the stock number 1300.7579.02.

To switch on the R&S FSH, press the yellow button

at the bottom left of the front panel.

To indicate that it is connected to the AC supply, the
R&S FSH displays a connector symbol in the middle of
the display above the softkey labels.

When the R&S FSH is switched on, it recalls the settings that it was using when it was last switched off.

Note: If the internal battery is completely flat, the R&S FSH cannot be switched on even though it

is connected to the AC supply via the power supply unit. In this case, the internal battery
must be charged for a while with the instrument switched off. Only then can the instrument
be switched on.

Spectrum Analyzer Connectors

The R&S FSH has the following connectors:

RF input

Connect the RF input via a cable with an N connector to the DUT. Make sure that it is not overloaded.

The maximum permissible continuous power at the RF input is 20 dBm (100 mW). It can be loaded with
up to 30 dBm (1 W) for a maximum of three minutes. If the instrument is loaded with 1 W for longer, it
heats up to such an extent that it may be destroyed.

Caution!

The RF input is AC-coupled. However, the DC input voltage must never exceed the value
specified on the housing; otherwise the coupling capacitor at the input may be destroyed
and, thus, the input attenuator or mixer as well. The RF input is protected from static
discharges and voltage pulses by a combination of limiting circuits and high-voltage
arresters.

Input for external trigger or external reference (EXT TRIG/EXT REF)

Via the EXT TRIG/EXT REF BNC connector, either an external trigger signal is applied to start a
measurement, or a 10 MHz reference signal is applied for frequency synchronization. The trigger
threshold is similar to that of TTL signals. The level for the reference signal must be greater than
10 dBm. Switchover between external trigger input and reference input is via the SETUP key.

DC connector for external power supply (on the right-hand side of the carrying handle).
The DC connector is used to supply the R&S FSH with power from the AC/DC adapter and to charge
the R&S FSH internal battery. The input voltage for the instrument must be between 15 V and 20 V.
Power consumption is approx. 7 W.

The battery can also be charged from a cigarette lighter socket in a vehicle. The adapter is available as
an R&S FSH accessory (R&S FSH-Z21, order no. 1145.5873.02).

Caution!

While the battery of the R&S FSH is being charged via the 12 V Car Adapter
R&S FSH-Z21, the car adapter must not be connected to the vehicle's ground (for
example, via the R&S FSH's RF connector or the power sensor) under any
circumstances.

Headphones connector (n the left-hand side of the carrying handle)
A 3.5 mm jack is provided for headphones. The internal impedance of the connector is approx. 10 E.

Connector for power sensor

The connector has been especially configured for Rohde & Schwarz power sensors. The connector is
used to power the sensor and to transfer data via the power sensor’s interface. If the R&S FSH-Z2
(VSWR bridge and power divider) is used, it is controlled by the connector.

Tracking generator output (models 1145.5850.13, 1145.5850.23 and 1145.5850.26 only)

Connect the tracking generator output to the DUT via an N connector. The nominal output level is

-20 dBm (100 LW). With the R&S FSH3 model 1145.5850.23, the level can be switched between

-20 dBm and 0 dBm (1 mW). Up to 3 GHz, the R&S FSH6 model 1145.5850.26 supplies an output level
of -10 dBm; above 3 GHz, the level is -20 dBm. Starting with serial number 100500, the output level of
the R&S FSH6, model 1145.5850.26, can be reduced in 1 dB steps by maximally 20 dB by means of a

Charging the Battery R&S FSH

1145.5973.12 1.12 E-14

Charging the Battery

The R&S FSH is fitted with a nickel metal hydride battery. The operating time is approx. four hours at
room temperature if the battery is fully charged.

Note: The battery in the R&S FSH is not charged when it leaves the factory. It must therefore be

charged after delivery.

When stored over an extended period, self-discharging reduces the battery charge. The battery should
therefore be charged before use if it is going to be the sole power source for a long period of operation.

The charging status of the battery is displayed by a
symbol that looks like a battery in the middle of the
screen above the row of softkey labels. If the battery is
fully charged, the entire battery symbol is white. As the
battery discharges, the white coloring disappears in
five steps until just the battery outline indicates that the
battery is flat.

Battery charge-level symbol

The battery is charged via the included power supply unit, which is connected to the jack on the right­hand side of the carrying handle.

If required, equip the power supply unit
with the country-specific plug. Remove
the plug from the power supply unit
toward the front and firmly connect the
appropriate plug to the power supply
unit.

AC supply plug

Power supply

DC power jack

For rapid charging, be sure to switch off the R&S FSH during charging. The charging time is approx.
seven hours. After four hours, the battery will be approx. 80 % charged.

If the R&S FSH is switched on, the charging current for the battery is reduced by the current drain of the
R&S FSH, which means the battery might not be charged.

To prevent the battery from discharging unnecessarily, the R&S FSH has an automatic cut-off or auto
power down mode that is activated if no entry is made for a definable period of time (5 minutes or
30 minutes).

The auto power down mode is deactivated in the default setting.

R&S FSH Measurements on CW Signals

1145.5973.12 2.1 E-14

2 Getting Started

This section explains the basic operation of the Handheld Spectrum Analyzer R&S FSH using some
simple measurements as examples. A more detailed description of operation and functions, such as
selecting menus and setting measurement parameters, is provided in section 3 of this manual.

Measurements on CW Signals

A basic task performed by spectrum analyzers is measuring the level and frequency of sinewave
signals. The following examples illustrate the most effective way of performing these measurements
with the R&S FSH.

A signal generator is used as a signal source, e.g. the Signal Generator R&S SML.

Measurement setup:

Connect the RF output of the signal generator to the RF input of the R&S FSH.
Signal generator settings:

Frequency 100 MHz
Level -30 dBm

Level measurement

First, set the R&S FSH to its default settings to show all the operating steps that are required.

 Press the PRESET key.

The analyzer displays the frequency spectrum from
100 kHz to 3 GHz or 100 kHz to 6 GHz (dependent on
the model) – the R&S FSH’s maximum frequency
span. At 100 MHz, the generator signal is displayed as
a vertical line. Generator harmonics can also be seen
as lines at frequencies that are multiples of 100 MHz.

To analyze the generator signal at 100 MHz in more
detail, reduce the frequency span. Set the R&S FSH’s
center frequency to 100 MHz and reduce the span to
10 MHz.

深圳市盛腾仪器仪表有限公司 Tel:[phone] Fax:[phone] Website: www.Sengt.com

Measurements on CW Signals R&S FSH

1145.5973.12 2.2 E-14

 Press the FREQ key.

 Enter “100” using the numeric keypad and confirm

the entry with the MHz key.

 Press the SPAN key.

 Enter “10” using the numeric keypad and confirm the

entry with the MHz key.

The R&S FSH now displays the generator signal with a
higher resolution.

The R&S FSH has markers for reading off signal levels and frequencies. Markers are always positioned
on the trace. Both the level and frequency at their current positions are displayed on the screen.

 Press the marker key.

The marker is activated and is automatically positioned
on the trace maximum. A vertical line on the
measurement diagram indicates the marker frequency.
A short horizontal line on the trace indicates the level.

The R&S FSH displays the marker frequency and level
numerically at the top of the measurement diagram.

Setting the Reference Level

The level shown by spectrum analyzers at the top of the measurement diagram is called the reference
level (REF LEVEL). To obtain the best dynamic range from a spectrum analyzer, its full level range
should be used. This means that the maximum spectrum level should be at or close to the top of the
measurement diagram (= reference level).

The reference level is the maximum level on the level axis (y axis).

Reduce the reference level by 10 dB to increase the dynamic range.

 Press the AMPT key.

The softkeys for the AMPT menu are displayed and the REF LEVEL softkey label is highlighted in red,
i.e. it is enabled for value entry. The red value entry box at the bottom right-hand corner of the
measurement diagram displays the current reference level.

 Enter “30” using the numeric keypad and confirm the entry with the dBm key.

The reference level is now set to –30 dBm. The maximum trace value is close to the maximum scale
value of the measurement diagram. The increase in the displayed noise floor is minimal. The difference
between the signal maximum and the displayed noise (i.e. the dynamic range ) has, however, been
increased.

R&S FSH Measurements on CW Signals

1145.5973.12 2.3 E-14

Using markers is also an effective way to shift the trace maximum so that it coincides with the top of the
measurement diagram. If the marker is positioned on the trace maximum (as in the example), the
reference level can be set to the marker level by entering the following keystrokes:

 Press the MARKER key.

 Press the SET MARKER softkey.

 Select REF LVL = MRK LVL in the submenu by using the rotary knob or the cursor keys.

 Press the ENTER key.

The reference level is then set to the measured level indicated by the marker. Only a few keystrokes
are needed to set the optimal reference level.

Frequency Measurements

The R&S FSH’s trace displays 301 measurement points (associated with 301 frequency or time points
along the x axis). The marker is always positioned on one of these measurement points. The R&S FSH
calculates the marker frequency from the measurement-point frequency, and the center frequency and
frequency span that have been set. The measurement point resolution and, consequently, the accuracy
of the marker-frequency readout therefore depend on the frequency span that has been selected.

The R&S FSH has a frequency counter to increase the accuracy of the marker frequency readout, It
stops the sweep at the marker position, counts the frequency and then continues the sweep.

The following measurement example is based on the previous example.

 Press the MARKER MODE softkey in the marker

menu.

The marker mode selection box opens.

 Select FREQ COUNT from the selection box using

the rotary knob or the cursor keys.

 Press the ENTER key.

The label 'M:' at the upper left-hand corner of the
measurement diagram changes to 'Ct:' to tell you that
the frequency counter has been switched on. The
resolution of the frequency readout is now 1 Hz no
matter what span has been set. The accuracy is
determined by the R&S FSH’s internal reference
frequency. It is far higher than that of pixel-oriented,
marker-frequency readout.

1145.5973.12 2.4 E-14

Harmonic Measurements of a Sinewave Signal

Since a spectrum analyzer can resolve different signals in the frequency domain, it is ideal for
measuring harmonic levels or harmonic ratios. To speed up these operations, the R&S FSH has marker
functions that deliver fast results with only a few keystrokes.

As above, a signal generator with a 100 MHz output frequency and an output level of –20 dBm is used
in the following measurement example.

First, the R&S FSH is set to its default settings to show all measurement steps that are needed.

 Press the PRESET key.

The analyzer displays the frequency spectrum from 100 kHz to 3 GHz, the largest available span. At
100 MHz, the generator signal is displayed as a line. The generator harmonics are displayed as lines
at frequencies that are multiples of 100 MHz.

To measure the second harmonic ratio, set the start and stop frequency as follows:

 Press the FREQ key.

The softkey menu opens entering the frequency.

 Press the START softkey.

 Enter '50' using the numeric keypad and confirm the entry with the MHz key.

 Press the STOP softkey.

 Enter '250' using the numeric keypad and confirm the entry with the MHz key.

The R&S FSH now displays the spectrum from 50 MHz to 250 MHz and thus the signal at 100 MHz and
its second harmonic at 200 MHz.

To measure the harmonic ratio, set the marker on the fundamental and the delta marker on the second
harmonic.

 Press the MARKER key.

The softkey menu opens for marker entry and
automatically positions the main marker on the trace
maximum.

 Press the DELTA softkey.

The delta marker is activated (vertical dotted line) and
is automatically placed on the next trace maximum (=
second harmonic).

The harmonic ratio in dB can be read directly from the
numeric delta-marker display.

Power Measurements Using the Power Sensor

For highly accurate power measurements, the R&S FSH provides the Power Sensor R&S FSH-Z1 or
R&S FSH-Z18 as options. They measure power in the span 10 MHz to 8 GHz or 10 MHz to 18 GHz,
respectively.

The Power Sensor R&S FSH-Z1 or R&S FSH-Z18 is controlled and powered via a special RS-232-C

Power and Return Loss Measurements with the R&S FSH-Z14 or the
R&S FSH-Z44

The Directional Power Sensors R&S FSH-Z14 and R&S FSH-Z44 are connected between the source
and the load and measure the power flux in both directions, i.e. from the source to the load (forward
power) and from the load to the source (reverse power). The ratio between reverse power and forward
power is a measure of the load matching and is displayed as the return loss or standing wave ratio.

The R&S FSH-Z14 and the R&S FSH-Z44 have an asymmetrical design and must therefore be inserted
into the test setup in such a way that the FORWARD arrow on the sensor points toward the load (= in
the direction of the power flux).
They are driven and powered via a special serial interface.

The cable on the power sensor must be connected and screw-fastened to the power sensor connector
on the R&S FSH. The directional power sensor itself has to be inserted between the source and the
load.

The transmission calibration remains valid until the center frequency or the span is changed on the
R&S FSH such that the new span falls outside the calibrated frequency range. If the calibration is no
longer valid,. Uncal is displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.

If the reference is changed after calibration, greater measurement uncertainty must be anticipated. The

R&S FSH retains the calibration data but displays a red dot in front of • Transm. .

When saving a data set for a scalar transmission measurement in a calibrated state, the R&S FSH can
store the calibration data along with the other settings (see section "Saving Calibration Data"). Thus,
after the setting is recalled, a measurement can be performed without prior calibration, provided that the
instrument's temperature does not deviate more than 5 °C from its temperature when the data set was
stored.

If the temperature deviation is greater, the R&S FSH outputs a (red) dot in front of • Transm. . A

precise measurement can then be made only after a calibration.

R&S FSH Measuring the Carrier-to-Noise Ratio

1145.5973.12 2.25 E-14

Measuring the Carrier-to-Noise Ratio

(Available as of firmware version 8.0 or higher.)

The R&S FSH offers a carrier/noise measurement for measuring the ratio of carrier power to noise
power. It performs the measurement in two steps. First, the carrier power of a transmission channel is
measured or a reference power determined which is then used for C/N calculation. In the second step,
the R&S FSH measures the noise power of an unoccupied transmission channel and calculates the
ratio of carrier power to noise power.

Determining the carrier power (reference power or reference level)

The R&S FSH offers the carrier power measurement for three different types of modulation.

• Digital Tx

In the Digital Tx operating mode, the channel power of a reference channel is measured. This is
common with digitally modulated carriers where power is equally distributed, i.e. the carrier power is
independent of the modulation signal.

• Analog TV

In the Analog TV operating mode, the peak power of the vision carrier is measured. This is common
with amplitude-modulated TV signals.

• CW Tx

In the CW Tx operating mode, the power of an unmodulated carrier is measured.

• Manual entry of a reference power or a reference level

You can also enter a reference power or reference level manually. The R&S FSH then uses this
value for C/N calculation.

Noise power and C/N power ratio

For noise power measurements, the R&S FSH is set to an unoccupied transmission channel where it
measures the noise power in accordance with the selected channel bandwidth. If required, the
R&S FSH also displays the power ratio with reference to the noise power density of the transmission
channel (C/N

0

). C/N0= C/N + 10 lg(channel bandwidth/Hz)

Activating the C/N measurement:

 Press the MEAS key.

 Press the MEASURE softkey.

The menu for measurement functions opens.

 Using the rotary knob or the cursor keys, select

CARRIER / NOISE from the menu and confirm your

Saving Calibration Data

When performing scalar transmission or return loss measurements, the R&S FSH can store the
calibration data along with the settings and results. Saving the settings and results with calibration data
requires twice as much memory space as without it. This, of course, reduces the maximum number of
data sets that can be saved. With the R&S FSH6 and R&S FSH3 model 23 (from serial number

102314), you can now also save the calibration data for the vector measurement of the transmission or
of the reflection.

In the default state, calibration data storage is disabled.

 Press the SETUP key.

 Press the GENERAL softkey.

 Select SAVE CAL DATA... and confirm by pressing

the ENTER key or the GENERAL softkey.

 Using the rotary knob or the cursor keys, select ON

or OFF.

 Confirm with ENTER.

The state for calibration data saving is entered in the SETUP menu.

When recalling data sets with stored calibration data, the R&S FSH checks whether the current
instrument temperature corresponds to the instrument temperature at the time the data was stored. If it

deviates more than 5°C, the R&S FSH displays a red dot in front of the • Transmission or • Reflection

display. Recalibration is then necessary.

again. Press EXIT a second time and the R&S FSH
returns to its previous settings without loading a data
set.

 Press SCREEN->PRINTER to send the displayed

data set to a printer.

Pressing the ACTIVATE softkey transfers the stored trace to the R&S FSH's trace memory. The current
trace can be compared with the stored one by switching on the trace memory.

 Press the TRACE key.

 Press the SHOW MEMORY softkey.

The R&S FSH displays the stored trace in white and the current trace in yellow.
