Ravinder,

Do a search in the archives for "Injecting noise into a plane".  The =
link is //www.freelists.org/archives/si-list/ .

I answered a question just like this about 3 years back.  I had to =
design something similar, and it ended up working fairly well. Here's a =
snippet of my answer:

I have actually done this. All you have to do is design a passive bias =
tee to the desired frequency that you want to introduce
into your 3.3V Power Plane, and that should be sufficient for the =
experiment.

Here is an example:

                   DC
                      |
                      C
                      C  L
                      C
               C      |
      AC ----||---------- AC + DC

F =3D 10kHz
L =3D 1000uH
C =3D 4.7uF

DC =3D +3.3V from Power Supply.
AC =3D 10kHz or whatever frequency you want to introduce into your =
system.
AC+DC =3D the noisy voltage that is used to supply your board with =
+3.3V.
---------------------

You could also use an active bias tee instead of a passive bias tee.  I =
did an experiment using both at the same frequency, and they seemed to =
work about the same.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Jeremy Webb

Hi
I need to inject low frequency ripple (250 mV - 1000 mV, 100 Hz - 5 kHz)
on DC power supply (5V and 12V).  Can any one suggest a vendor who makes
such equipment, or details to put one together.  Currently I am using a
fixture designed years ago by someone in my company, but it really
distorts the waveform at lower frequencies.

I will appreciate any type of leads.

Thanks.
