LTSpice: How to write a behaviorial model?

[Mike Rocket J. Squirrel E]

I need to drive an amplifier circuit from a pre-emphasized voltage
source. The goal being to confirm that the complementary de-emphasis
portion of the circuit results in overall flat frequency response.

Generally speaking, when doing an .ac analysis, the signal source is
held at a constant amplitude and swept from the start to the stop
frequency. In my application, I need to vary the amplitude as a function
of frequency as it sweeps.

This appears to be a job for the "B" function. Alas, my math skills are
too puny to attack the problem.

Beige Bag SPICE shows how to do exactly what I want to do for their
software at

It is the Inverse RIAA Parameters that I am wanting to stir into the B
model. I'm not seeing how to write a B behavioral model of the inverse
RIAA equalization transfer function in LTSpice from their example.

It is the Inverse RIAA Parameters that I am wanting to stir into the B
model. I'm not seeing how to write a B behavioral model of the inverse
RIAA equalization transfer function in LTSpice from their example.

Basically, you change the word "gain" to "Laplace". Below is
a schematic that uses the equation from that site. Note I used
the reciprocal so that the response was more easily recognizable
as RIAA equalization. Just change the value of E1 to
Laplace=(1 + 3.18e-3*s)*(1 + 7.5e-5*s)/(1 + 3.18e-4*s) to
get the inverse. Note that LTspice will also execute the
PSpice syntax for these things, which while a bit more cumbersome,
is the most widely used standard I know of.

Mike,

That's brilliant -- thank you!

Mike,
please consider including the examples from the last postings into the
release.

Thanks
