SWITCHING POWER SUPPLIES AND RF NOISE Switched mode power supplies ( SMPS ) employ high frequency switching and thus, are a source of radio interference, a recipient of radio interference and a conduit of radio interference. ( Older linear type trans- former based power supplies do not employ high frequency switching volt- ages and will be quieter as compared to switching type of supplies ).
