AI Thread Summary
The user is attempting to simulate a Voltage Controlled Voltage Source (VCVS) in PSpice but encounters an error related to the .TF statement, which indicates a requirement for an independent voltage or current source. The netlist provided includes components such as resistors and a voltage source, but the error suggests that the software misinterprets a node name as an undeclared source. The user seeks assistance in identifying the specific issue causing the error. Clarification on the correct syntax or structure for the .TF statement in the context of VCVS simulation is needed. The discussion highlights common pitfalls in PSpice netlist configurations.

Hello,

Im trying to simulate a VCVS by writing this netlist on PSpice:

***Voltage controlled voltage sources(VCVS)***

*#destroy all
*#run
*#print all

.TF V(Vout,0) Vin

Vin Vin 0 DC 1
R1 Vb 0 3K
R2 Vt Vout 1K
R3 Vout 0 2k
E1 Vt Vb Vin 0 23

.end


But it keeps giving me an error and I am not sure why?
*#destroy all
*#run
*#print all

.TF V(Vout,0) Vin
-----------$
ERROR -- Must be independent source (I or V)

Vin Vin 0 DC 1
R1 Vb 0 3K
R2 Vt Vout 1K
R3 Vout 0 2k
E1 Vt Vb Vin 0 23

.end

Can someone point me out the error please?

Thank you!

It apparently thinks that something in the .TF statement is an undeclared voltage or current source, rather than just a node name.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
