Although there are several ways of doing this, one method which we
use in our lab and have had really good results with is to utilize
a commercial broadband bias tee to inject the noise.

Feed the DC power to your system through the tee's RF choke. Inject
your desired noise into the system via the capacitively coupled port.

We've also tried building up ferrite transformers etc. to try to
match the 'noise' to the ultra low impedance of the boards power
distribution system but found the bias tee method works much better.
