Measuring and modeling individual LC filter components enables accurate simulation and analysis of circuit behavior. Using the Bode 500 and the Bode Analyzer Suite’s Circuit Fit feature, component impedances are characterized and converted into SPICE models. Simulated and measured transfer functions are compared to identify discrepancies caused by parasitics and non-idealities. This approach enhances understanding of real-world effects, improves design accuracy, and supports the development of more reliable power electronics systems.

Check out the application note below to learn how to simulate an LC filter using measured impedance values from the Bode 500.
