How Do I Add Voltage Noise in LTspice and Analyze Its Response?

Click For Summary
To add voltage noise in LTspice using the white() function, the parameter in white(x) is not well-documented, leading to confusion about its meaning. The .NOISE analysis in LTspice primarily focuses on intrinsic noise sources like Johnson, shot, and flicker noise, and may not account for externally introduced noise from a voltage source. Users are encouraged to consult the LTspice user group for more detailed guidance on this topic. Additionally, noise from the series resistance of a voltage source is included in the analysis. Engaging with the LTspice community may provide further insights and solutions.

Hello, I try to add a voltage noise using an arbitrary voltage source set as V=white(1).
Since I couldn't find any info about that parameter for the white() function I decided to do a .noise analysis to see how it responds to different values of that parameter.
Except I can't get any kind of my injected noise to show up in my .noise analysis.

That is two questions actually: what does that parameter mean in white(x) function?, and why can't I get my noise source to appear in the .noise analysis?
thanks

thank you. I will look them over again (I balked previously, don't want to register).

Give it a try. I agree it is a difficult group, these Physics forums have a much more convenient format.

I will see your question and any answers in the daily digest email.

I could ask if you want, but you are better placed to understand your needs and so can be more specific with the conversation.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
