PSS

  • PSS Analysis's reliability-Difference between time domain response in PSS and Tran analysis

    I'm designing a wide band matching network to drive an antenna.The output pulse at the output of pulse generator is delivered to one N1PORT as the antenna model thet refered to a S1P file with value from 1GHz to 8GHz. I want to use this interface between antenna(S1P port with n1port component) and...

  • 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...

  • PSS analysis - oscillator

    Dear all, I am simulating an oscillator (RLC lumped element connected to a sustaining amplifier) in SpectreRF 5.10.41.121508. The oscillation frequency is about 0.85 MHz. There is some initial current condition (50nA) for the inductance L. The transient analysis runs well and shows the oscillations building...

  • Jitter from pnoise simulation

    I'm desinnig a Time to digital converter and I would like to simulate the jitter of a driven buffer having a rising time of 350 ps. In my schematic, the buffer is driven by vpulse (ideal CLK @ 2 MHz) and I would like to simulate his output jitter. My setting of pss simulation is as follow: Beat frequency...

  • PA design problem

    Signal V(I10,C17.cs.hn1)=1.02711GV exceeds the blowup limit for the quantity 'V' which is (1 GV). it is likely that the circuit is unstable. what is meaning?how to solve this error? thanks for help.

  • Guidelines for Setting Pnoise/HBnoise Sidebands to Get Accurate Results

    I get quite a few questions from designers along the lines of "How do I set the number of pss/hb harmonics and pnoise/hbnoise sidebands in order to get accurate results?" Here are some general guidelines that I follow: The number of sidebands ( harmonics ) in the simulation can affect performance...

  • Q&A: TI Wireless Team Describes Advanced Phase-Noise Characterization for RF Oscillators Using SpectreRF

    In this interview, members of the Texas Instrument wireless group talk about the characterization effort initiated and completed last year between Cadence and IBM using TI RF designs as a pilot. The goal between the two teams was to optimize SpectreRF usage to successfully and efficiently simulate TI...

  • New Time-Saving Feature in IC6.1.4 ISR2: Plot S-Parameter Data Directly From ViVA!

    If you haven't heard about it....there is a new feature in IC6.1.4 ISR2 which makes troubleshooting circuits containing nports ( s-parameters ) much easier and faster! Starting i n IC6.1.4 ISR2, you can now plot s-parameters directly in ViVA (without having to create a test bench and run a Spectre...

  • Phase noise sensitivity to tstab

    Hi, I am simulating a ~25GHz LC oscillator using harmonic balance and pnoise, then calculating the phase noise at 10MHz offset (this offset is added as a specific point to pnoise). Even with the most aggressive accuracy settings (harm=40,steadyratio=1e-3,reltol=1e-6,vabstol=1e-9,iabstol=1e-12), the phase...
