Title: transient result from tstab in QPSS Post by saeedp on Jan 28th, 2014, 3:29pm Hi Everybody, I run QPSS+QPAC in spectre. There is a large signal clock in the circuit in addition to a large 0dBm single tone in the input port, so I have two large signal. in the QPSS setting, I set the tstab to 10ns. after the simulation, in "Direct plot form" in the tstab analysis result, when I try to observe the transient behavior of the input (port), I don't see any sinewave coming from the port. So my question is : does tstab take the source information from port while running that initial 10ns transient? Thanks, Saeed |
Title: Re: transient result from tstab in QPSS Post by Shady Adly on Feb 5th, 2014, 3:37pm No, as I recall in QPSS analysis, initial transient tstab is only performed only on the large tone and not on the moderate ones. Regards, Shady |
Title: Re: transient result from tstab in QPSS Post by Andrew Beckett on Feb 6th, 2014, 3:51am This is because the initial transient is used to provide a good starting point for the subsequent frequency domain analysis (if HB) or the time-domain part of the mixed-frequency time analysis (if shooting). Since QPSS is intended for non-commensurate tones, it would only make sense to enable the moderate tones (or tones other than the first one if using HB) if you were able to simulate a complete period of all the frequencies - which is potentially a very long time when the tones aren't commensurate. Since the idea is that the first (or large) tone is the one that causes the most non-linearity, this is usually the one that has the biggest benefit in running a transient assist for. Regards, Andrew. |
