Hi Sean, thank You for Your reply. I don't have any advanced needs like this, so the voltage source in serie and current source in parallel will suffice, in the end what I need is to minimize anything looking different than my signal of interest, so adding voltage and current interference will be enough to study how to still extract my signal with the least possible error, which includes also software tricks (just to name one, for example I will inhibit all inputs when I generate a spark (CDI), I have control over all of these processes so it's easy to do and effective). By the way, about Your last paragraph, I can accross this and perhaps it may interest You: http://www.ansoft.co.kr/html/eve_tra/infoday/05%20Full%20System%20EMI%20EMC= %20Methodology.pdf Cheers, Mario > >Sean > > >On Thu, Dec 15, 2011 at 9:26 AM, Electron wrote: >> >> Hello, >> how can I model EMI (for use in LT-Spice IV)? >> >> Say I have a pulsed voltage source with a certain source impedance,=20 >my signal, how can/should >> I add simulated EMI?
