I want to find out if using an analogue sensor is feasible in my noisy environment by running some signal integrity tests before I buy it. Because I don`t have the sensor yet, I need to simulate its output. This can be assumed to be a constant DC voltage, since it will change very slowly. A reasonable value for this voltage is 2.25VDC.

My approach to model my sensor is to take a 9V battery and load it with four 220K ohm resistors in series. I will use the potential difference between the last resistor and ground (2.25V) to model my sensor`s analog output, and run my tests with it. 

To make this more clear, an example of a test I will run is to use one ADC module to measure the voltage across the last resistor in the potential divider, and another ADC module to measure the voltage across the wires of the other end of a slip ring connected across that last resistor while it is rotating. [Some more background to understand the application if you're curious is at this question.][1]

**My question is can an analogue signal be modeled by a battery? What is the theoretical difference between an analogue signal and the voltage across a battery`s terminals other than the source resistance?**

Thanks for helping a beginner to signal processing!
