Hi Martin, If we want to measure the noises from the signal tracks, we are normally using a good quality (low loss) coaxial cable, one end attached to a resistor, the other end connect to the receiver/SA. The other end of the resistor can be poking to the signal tracks.
The other technique is using a good quality coaxial cable, one end connect to the receiver/SA, the other end are attached to a piece of insulated coating copper wire (via BNC) making into different shape/sizes depend on the application. We are using this technique to measure noise leakage and also noisy areas within the PCB. I hope you do find these information useful.
