Abstract

A system for injecting noise signals onto power generated by a power source comprising: a voltage source; a device under test having a power input in operable communication with the noise introduction apparatus; and a noise introduction apparatus interposed between the power source and device under test in operable communication with the voltage source, the noise introduction apparatus comprising, a switching device configured to provide a low impedance conductive path when commanded, and a current limiting device in series with the switching device, the current limiting device configured to provide a low impedance conductivity for a selected current and a selected duration. The switching device and current limiting device cooperate to shunt the voltage source to the power input.
