There should be a library named analogLib where you will find the vsource component that Andrew mentioned. If you do not have access to this library, you should ask the people responsible for your Cadence installation to make it available.

@ Frank
In my previous post thats what I specified that there exists an analog lib and i specified the components too, but the problem is there doesnt exist any component like vsource. As far as I know we are using NCSU CDK 1.3 kit.


Very likely I am using the old library, but its not easy for me to get it changed, is there any way to get around this problem, i mean can i create a netlist without vsource and then add a vsource in the netlist manually and simulate netlist????

Also i checked that their does exist psin but it does not have pac too, it has : resistance, port number, DC voltage, sine DC level, amplitude, phase, frequency, FM index, AM index, AC magnitude and AC phase.

There is similarly a pdc component too, and that has resistance, port number, DC voltage, AC magnitue and AC phase but here i think p refers to port not to periodic.

Thanks

One of the problems with the NCSU kit is that they used an old version of analogLib from the cadence install, so that they could give instructions on using it with out it changing in the next version of the tools..

What you need to do is look in the cadence documentation for the location of analogLib, and add that to your library instead of the NSCU one.. rename the NSCU one if needed. the NCSU folks probably didn't consider the use of SpectreRF in analog design.

A better tutorial design kit, one that is close in architecture to those provided by real foundries is the cadence generic Process Design Kit (PDK). I believe the website for the university programs that are using this as the core of a tutorial program is http://crete.cadence.com
you should be able to register there, and download that kit once your registration is approved.

Hope this helps,
