PLL Phase Noise profile problem
Feb 14th, 2007, 8:16am
 
Hello All,

Iam simulating schematic level simulations of phaselocked loops. I run PSS and Pnoise to generate the phaseNoise plot. Regardless of what type of PLL i design i get a phase noise slope of -10dBc/hz per decade but its suppose to be -20dBc/Hz per decade. I am pretty sure its not a circuit issume but a simulator problem. Will incorrect settings result in the wrong profile of the phase noise ? anyone run into this issue before ?

Have you looked at the noise contributors summary? Where is the noise coming from?
