What is Ripple & Noise? How to Measure it?

It is a small unwanted residual periodic variation of the direct current (DC) output of a power supply which has been derived from an alternating current (AC) source. The waveform is shown in the figure below.

What is Ripple & Noise? How to Measure it?

There are two AC contents, also known as Ripple and Noise (R&N), on the DC output. The first one, coming from sine wave rectification, is at a low frequency which is 2 times of the input frequency; the second one is at high frequency which is from the switching frequency. For measuring high-frequency noise, configurations of an oscilloscope with a bandwidth of 20MHz, a scope probe with shortest ground wire possible, and 0.1uF and 47uF capacitors add in parallel with test point for filtering out noise interference are required to be made.
