A method and a computer program for modeling an interfering pulse in a
vehicle electric system are described. Previous approaches for
synthesizing such interfering pulses have proven to be insufficiently
realistic for the simulation of certain application cases. An interfering
pulse is therefore modeled by random determination of the parameters of
the parameter set representing the interfering pulse to be modeled on the
basis of the density functions belonging to the parameters and by
substituting the parameters thus obtained into a predetermined
mathematical function. The interfering pulse modeled in this way is also
a suitable starting point for modeling a pulse pattern, i.e., a random
sequence of individually spaced interfering pulses and a pulse interferer
scenario, i.e., a random sequence of individually spaced pulse patterns.
