PNoise

  • Phase noise plot

    Hi, I have been doing a Pnoise analysis . Unfortunately I was unable to plot the phase noise response. My design was setup was described below. My apparatus was a PLL with a fixed divider ratio of 20 and output frequency of 500Mz In PSS analysis I have set the beat frequency as reference frequency ie...

  • Pnoise analysis

    Hi, I have been doing a pnoise analysis for a PLL . Looking into the Pnoise simulation profile I have found a tab regarding thevalue for " Reference sideband" .What is the value that I should put while my "Maximum number of sidebands =7". With Regards, Jithin K

  • Pnoise analysis

    Hi, I have been designing a PLL which gives an output frequency in the range (400-500)MHz to the reference input frequency of (20-25)MHz.So for doing the pnoise analysis I have added the PSS as well as Pnoise analysis I have made the following as setup for the analysis for a frequency of 500MHz. I have...

  • How to simulate the Noise figure in Pnoise from 1 stage to another?

    Hi there, I want to simulate the Noise figure for such a setup that first a band pass filter, then sample and hold, and then follower by amplifier, and ADC and so on. Can i get the noise figure from source to each stage with Pnoise? I understand that if the output is specified with voltage of two node...

  • Insufficient memory in PNOISE simulation

    I'm trying to do phase noise analysis with PSS HB and PNOISE for post layout extracted netlist. I got the following error: Mem Used: 12813.8 MB (Memory Exhausted) Fatal error found by spectre at freq = 10 MHz during PNoise analysis `pnoise'. FATAL (CMI-2002): Insufficient memory available. To...

  • Modeling Oscillators with Arbitrary Phase Noise Profiles

    When you need to include noisy oscillators in SpectreRF transceiver simulations, you have at least 3 options: 1) Semi-autonomous simulation is the most accurate approach, recommended whenever the transistor-level model of the oscillator is available. 2) rfLib/osc model is less accurate but it’s...

  • High frequency quadrature VCO design with good phase noise

    Hello everyone I am a newbie engineer starting my career in RF IC design and working on designing a high frequency VCO (38 GHz) with good phase noise characteristics. I am using Cadence IC6.1.5-64b.500 version and spectre simulator for the schemtic design and simulations. I have to do everything from...

  • Re: Phase Noise vs frequency graph problem

    Hello Frank, Really appreciate your help..I have put my latest schematic in this post..if you have time to have a look...I haven't used the oscillator mode in pss analysis.. I have a few other problems too which i will be posting separately.. I am having trouble getting quadrature output..i.e. the...

  • Re: RE: Phase Noise vs frequency graph problem

    Hello Tawna, I am very thankful for your reply...Read a lot of posts by you and Andrew in various topics and a fan of your knowledge and work.. I got the correct graph yesterday when I changed errpreset to 'moderate' and putting tstab as 60n..but the values of phase noise was aroung -140dbc/hz...

  • Re: Phase Noise vs frequency graph problem

    Thanks Frank for replying. Yes, I have seen that post-it explains the equation which spectre uses to find the pnoise...but it doesnt help me to get the right graph with negative values of pn. I am doing the pss-pnoise simulation using the following settings: PSS : Harmonic Balance beat freq - 37.93G...
