You can usually work on the background noise to reduce it. :popcorn:

Yep, and this is your blind spot...

But not everybody needs that. 500uV and 200MHz will make no difference at all to the average Arduino hacker.

- The DC power supply and the Scope are powered by an isolating transformer to ensure that they are not affected by AC mains. If I want to be more precise, I will separate the power supply for the oscilloscope from the AC mains, while the DUT is powered by an isolation transformer.
- Coax cable attached to the Siglent SDS1104X-E.
- At the output of the DC source, I connect 0.1uf+10uf (50V) ceramic capacitor in parallel, and use a 0.01uf capacitor to block the DC signal. I tried replacing the 10uf ceramic capacitor with a 10uf Tantalum capacitor but the results didn't make much of a difference.
- Ripple & noise about 3.36 mVp-p.
Compared to using probe with GND wire ripple & noise about 8.96 mVp-p
Another example compares the ripple & noise of 65W GaN charging when using the oscilloscope probe far from the source with using a coax cable near the output of the source, the results will be different.

No 50 ohm termination?

You think ?
My eyes are wide open and can well see the poo that's offered to the marketplace.....bit of a shame buyers of that poo don't have their eyes open too.
