Either NiMH batteries or a R&S NGT20 with the post filter box as in page

That would not make much of a difference.

Prefilter/test box and preamp were isolated and  in an another large ALU 
cargo box with beryllium copper
finger stock on the door and BNC bulkhead feedthroughs. The preamp runs 
on NiMH batteries. It's input
connection is just one semirigid SMA cable. If the testbox & preamp box 
touch, the resulting loop
creates an explosion of interference.

I used "The Art Of Electronics V3" and Aldert van der Ziel's "Noise in 
Solid State Devices And Circuits"
as insulators. A good foundation to build upon, in every respect. :-)
