he is on the right truck, just look around in your testing environment, do you have shielded test set up, common ground for all the test gears ?

Another thing to consider when chasing that sort of problem: How much are you
picking up with your scope probe and/or its ground wire?

The classic home brew better-probe is to use a chunk of 50 ohm coax feeding
into scope with a 50 ohm terminator.  (You get 2 of them if you cut a readily
available connectorized cable in half.)  Insert 950 ohms at the probe end to
get higher input impedance at the cost of a 20:1 divider.

It usually requires soldering at the DUT.  For me, it also requires a mental
shift.  You have to think of your scope probe as a consumable rather than
something that won't wear out if you take care of it.  A chunk of coax will
last a long time.  Just cut off another 1/2 inch when the end gets too
mangled.
