Transient Analysis Noise Syntax

To enable transient noise analysis, the .TRAN statement takes additional optional arguments.

Table 2: Transient Noise Arguments

Argument

Description

Unit

Default

NOISEFMAX

The highest frequency to analyze for pseudorandom noise. Must be non-zero to enable transient noise analysis. Maximum transient timestep is set to 1/NOISEFMAX.

Hz

0

NOISESCALE

Scale factor

None

1

NOISESEED

Random number seed. Using the same seed generates the same set of random values

None

None

NOISEFMIN

Lowest frequency to analyze for noise. Under NOISEFMIN, noise power density is constant.
1/NOISEFMIN must be less than the transient analysis stoptime.

Hz

NOISEFMAX

NOISESTART

Noise start time

Second
