Measuring forward and reflected power R&S FSH
1309.6275.12 4.78 E-2
In the event of incorrect operation or sensor malfunction, the R&S FSH outputs the following error
m
essages:
Message Cause Remedy
Error in zeroing: signal at
sensor
A signal was present at the
power sensor when zeroing was
performed.
Unscrew the power sensor from
the device under test and repeat
zeroing.
Warning: input overloaded The power at the input of the
power sensor exceeds the
permissible power.
Reduce the power at the sensor
input.
Hardware error Communication error between
the R&S FSH and the power
sensor.
Unscrew the sensor from the
R&S FSH and check the
connectors. If the problem
persists, contact a Rohde &
Schwarz service center.
Power sensor error The power sensor signals an
error to the R&S FSH.
Contact a Rohde & Schwarz
service center.

The power sensors contain frequency-dependent correction values. This means that the highest
accuracy is reached for signals whose frequency is known. When the R&S FSH switches to the power
measurement mode from another operating mode, it transfers its current center frequency to the power
sensor.
If a signal at another frequency is to be measured, the new center frequency can be transferred to the
power sensor by entering the frequency (FREQ softkey).
