1. A device for generating a synthetic signal for testing knock control functions in an engine control device of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a basic noise signal generating unit having a basic noise signal output;
a knock signal generating unit having a knock signal output, said basic noise signal output and knock signal output being superimposed to form a total signal;
an actuating device for changing at least one of an amplitude and frequency curve of at least one of the basic noise signal, the knock signal, and the total signal.

Abstract
A device for generating a synthetic signal for testing knock control functions in engine control devices of motor vehicles has a basic noise signal generating unit, a knock signal generating unit, and an actuating device. The output signals of the basic noise and knock signal generating units can be superimposed to form a total signal. The actuating device changes the amplitude and/or frequency or the amplitude and/or frequency curve of the basic noise signal, knock signal, and/or total signal.

12. A method for generating a synthetic signal for testing knock control functions in an engine control device of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
-
superimposing a basic noise signal from a basic noise signal generating unit on a knock signal from a knock signal generating unit to form a total signal; and changing at least one of an amplitude and frequency curve of at least one of the basic noise signal, the knock signal, and the total signal via an actuating device to provide the synthetic signal for testing the knock control functions.
