4.2.4 Noise Measurement Best Practices

Proper probing technique is critical to minimize any potential interference or measurement noise when conducting PoC noise measurements. When probing the deserializer board to measure the RIN+ noise of the system, probing the RIN+ pin directly on the IC is recommended. Additionally, ground the probe by accessing the ground plane near the pin directly on the PCB board. Grounding close to the pin helps minimize the ground loop and reduces measurement noise. The probe used to collect noise measurements can also impact the results. Select a probe such that the path to ground is as short as possible. For example, ground the probe using a short ground spring rather than an alligator clip or other types of large clips. This minimizes the ground loop and reduces measurement noise. When measuring noise, it is important that the system under test is an accurate representation of the final operational system. The intended cable type and length must be used with the deserializer, serializer, and imager all configured to operate in the intended operational mode.
