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.
 
- Extra movement a vibrations in the amplifier.

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.

U66 | 
 | 
HOT Wire: This is a channel that always triggers a fake signal very often.

The rest of channels not mention here has a similar behaviour between them, with a noise level not greater than ~20mV.
