Settings for detection of the R&S FSH-Z3 in transmission and spectrum 
measurements 
Operation: 
 
 Press the SETUP key. 
 Select the HARDWARE SETUP softkey. 
 Select ACCESSORY from the menu by using the 
rotary knob or the cursor keys and confirm the entry 
with the ENTER key. 
.
The R&S FSH opens a menu where different modes 
for detecting the R&S FSH-Z3 bridge can be selected.  
 
 Select AUTO DETECT or BRIDGE FSH-Z3 from the 
menu by using the rotary knob or the cursor keys 
and confirm the entry with the HARDWARE SETUP 
softkey or the ENTER key. 
If you select AUTO DETECT, the VSWR bridge is 
detected automatically as soon as the control cable 
has been connected to the probe power socket on the 
R&S FSH.  
 
If you select BRIDGE FSH-Z3, the VSWR bridge is 
detected by default. This setting may be useful if you 
only work with the R&S FSH-Z3 connected and do not 
want to waste time on automatic detection. 
Supplying DC voltage to active DUTs 
By using the VSWR Bridge R&S FSH-Z3, DC voltage can be supplied to active DUTs such as 
amplifiers through the integrated bias tees (BIAS 1 and BIAS 2) via the RF cable. The DC voltage is fed 
in from a suitable external power supply (max. 300 mA/max. 50 V). To measure the antenna coupling of 
mobile radio base stations, the DC voltage must be supplied to two tower-mounted amplifiers (TMA). 
This is done by applying a suitable voltage at the BIAS 1 and BIAS 2 BNC inputs of the VSWR bridge. 
 
Reflection measurements 
The VSWR Bridge R&S FSH-Z2 or R&S FSH-Z3 is required for reflection measurements. However, an 
equivalent bridge (e.g. the R&S ZRB2 from Rohde & Schwarz) can be used. 
 
 Connect the control cable of the R&S FSH-Z2/-Z3 to the power sensor socket of the R&S FSH. 
 Connect the RF connectors of the R&S FSH-Z2/-Z3 to the RF input and generator output of the 
R&S FSH (see labeling on VSWR bridge).
