Source identification and Solution• First source : AC power cables running close to the QPD signal wires• Second source: Power supply of on track was not grounded

Solution

• All the signal wires were rearranged and separated from AC wires• On track was powered by Ryobi lithium-battery

•Vibration transmissivity wise structure is most sensitive to 100 to 150Hz and more sensitive to the frequencies less than 400Hz.

•Power coupling from frequencies higher than 150Hz wise 295Hz is the strongest candidate.

•Airborne noise wise structure is most sensitive to frequencies less than 140Hz.

•120 Hz is the mechanical resonant frequency of the structure.

•180Hz and 295Hz are the secondary resonance.
