Using a bias tee and sampling tee, you can inject specific frequency, measureable "noise" into the power supply connection. This will allow you to make measurements as you would with simulations. If you're not familiar with them, a bias tee combines DC signals and AC signals. You can supply your DC supply on one port, your AC-noise on the second port, and the third port containing both the AC and DC signals goes to your device. This will allow you to inject specific frequency noise into your device. A sampling tee simply strips off a small portion of the signal from a coax line to allow to to measure its amplitude. By placing a sampling tee after the bias tee, you can measure the AC and DC signals going into your device. Both types of tees can be purchased from Agilent, Picosecond Pulse Labs, and others....
