Power Meter
For highly accurate power measurements, you can connect a power sensor to the
R&S FSH and perform measurements.
4.1 Using a Power Sensor
The power sensor function turns the R&S FSH into a wideband power meter. It then
always measures the power of the whole signal in the frequency range of the power
sensor. In most cases the signal shape has no effect on the measurement.
► Press the MODE key.
► Press the "Power Meter" softkey
The R&S FSH activates the mode for power measurements.

A power sensor measures the power in the frequency range defined in the data sheet
of the power sensor. This means that you can measure both sine signals and
modulated signals precisely over a large dynamic range.
For a complete list of supported power sensors, refer to the data sheet.
