Hi Vijay, Check out this SI-LIST e-mail thread from 7/2001: * //www.freelists.org/post/si-list/Injecting-noise-into-a-plane,3 There's also a similar thread from 9/2004: * //www.freelists.org/post/si-list/Ripple-Injection,3 Here's a snippet of the thread that may be applicable for your measurement: --- 16 Jul 2001 --- I have actually done this. All you have to do is design a passive bias tee to the desired frequency that you want to introduce into your 3.3V Power Plane, and that should be sufficient for the experiment. Here is an example: DC | C C L C C | AC ----||---------- AC + DC F = 10kHz L = 1000uH C = 4.7uF DC = +3.3V from Power Supply. AC = 10kHz or whatever frequency you want to introduce into your system. AC+DC = the voltage that is used to supply your board with +3.3V. ------------------------ Hope this helps.
