Vijay/Jeremy,
I have used the same method (using Bias Tee) for injecting noise to a power
plane with the test board having no decoupling capacitors.

But in the setup I need to have a feedback near the power pin to monitor the
amount of noise actually reaching the device.

This is because I have additional noise sources which add up the noise.
Also if the board has PWR GND plane coupling then some of the noise is
decoupled.

Regards
Surjendra
