Scot, We had a problem at our lab that sounds very similar to yours. It turned out to be dirty power line insulators. We were in the midst of a drought at the time and the rains were not doing a good job cleaning the insulators. The dirt built up to the point that there was conduction through

Hi Scott, You wrote: This is broadband, from 30 MHz to 1 GHz, at levels up to 70 or 80 dBuv. It is not like a flat carrier but rather more like PWM driven motor noise. It lasts from 15 seconds to 1 minute in duration. Then ambient returns to normal. I've had a very similar problem, 20-30dB

It can be conducted overwhelming the spectrum analyzer (although unlikely) It could be large amplitude at an IF frequency (thus the broadband everywhere symptom) Might try a portable tuned receiver and start searching for the origin. - Robert - On

Scott: Here's a couple of comments and suggested possibilities to investigate in tracking down the source of your problems. 1. Check the turn-on time (not X-ray operation time) for the X-ray equipment. The operator may turn on the unit, take one exposure, change film and set up for a second
