The Rohde & Schwarz FSHZ14 is a directional power sensor that extends the measurement capabilities of Rohde & Schwarz FSH series handheld spectrum analyzers. It enables simultaneous measurement of forward and reflected power, allowing engineers to assess transmitter antenna output power and impedance matching under live operating conditions. The sensor connects via a special serial interface to the FSH base unit, which processes analog and digital signals to deliver corrected measurement values.
