Testing procedure
Things that may cause "noise" that are actually due to your testing setup:
- STB boards not securely attached to chamber. Make sure center screws (ones attaching directly to the chamber, not the nylon stand-offs) are tightened to 14 in. lb's.
- Scope's termination set to 1Mohm. Set the scope to 50ohm termination.
- Lower bandwidth of 1 Ghz scope to 200 Mhz. This attenuates peak height, but also rejects high frequency noise and reduces the noise level from 55-65 mV to ~11-15 mV.
Super Layer 1
STB-1 G1202220
Layer | Wire | Channel | Date | Comments |
U1 | This channel presents higher noise level than the other ones, which makes difficult to get a signal with amplitude below 30mV. This behaviour extends to all the first channels of each connector in the board. however, if a high enough trigger level is set in the scope(~40mV), it is always possible to get a signal in these channels. | |||
U24 | Warm Wire: This is a channel that always triggers a fake signal. | |||
U38 | Warm Wire. | |||
U66 | HOT Wire: This is a channel that always triggers a fake signal very often. | |||
U87 | HOT Wire. | |||
U93 | HOT Wire. |
The rest of channels not mention here has a similar behaviour between them, with a noise level not greater than ~20mV.

STB-4 G1202275
Layer | Wire | Channel | Date | comments |
U15,U21,U28 | This Board presents a unusual noise in all the channels. The noise is a big positive spark, which makes difficult the recolection of signals. However, It was possible by setting a higher trigger level in the scope. | |||
U61 | Hot and Noisy. The Cause of the noise is the amplifier used. It turns out that this device is very sensitive to the vibration and movement. |
