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.

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.

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.

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.
