The Rohde & Schwarz URV5-Z2 is a 50 Ohm insertion unit measuring head engineered for precise voltage and level measurements across RF systems. This terminated measuring head enables uninterrupted level assessment between source and load, supporting both voltage measurements and terminated power calculations. The URV5-Z2 operates across a wide dynamic range with intelligent waveform weighting that adapts to signal amplitude, making it suitable for general RF metrology and specialized applications including EMC test level verification.
