Higher Noise Level
The noise level measured by the test system reflects the sum of all of the
noise sources affecting the system. This includes noise sources within the
system as well as external noise sources. If the general noise level measured
for your device is much higher than you expected, begin evaluating each of
the potential noise sources. The following table will help you identify and
evaluate many of the potential causes of a high noise floor.
