Mirny is then connected to the RSA5100A spectrum analyzer for measurement. -Noise response spike can be improved by inserting a common-mode choke between the power supply and Mirny. +Noise response spike can be improved by inserting an additional common-mode choke between the power supply and Mirny. +Note that the common-mode choke is not present on the Mirny card.
