Title: Cyclostationary Noise and PM noise Post by jfosorio on May 13th, 2005, 1:54am Hello, In the last spectreRF version available here there is a capability call modulated noise that permit split AM noise of PM noise. I dont know if once the PM noise is available directly from SpectreRF, it is still necessary to estimate the noise passing through a threshold by using the time-domain capability. can I suppose these to noise are equal ?. I mean is the phase noise calculeted by the PM capability equal to the cyclostationary Noise. Thanks for your help. Juan |
Title: Re: Cyclostationary Noise and PM noise Post by Ken Kundert on May 13th, 2005, 7:00pm Generally when worried about jitter or noise at a threshold, you need to use the strobed noise. The AM and PM decomposition performed by SpectreRF still is done on the noise over an entire period, and so noise far from the threshold is included in the PM noise, but it would not contribute to jitter. -Ken |

For autonomous circuits, it essentially is the same as the modulated noise type for pnoise, and computes jitter from the PM noise. Regards, Andrew. |
