Hi.
Nobody can understand your questions unless you describe correct tool's name, situation and condition in detail.
Quote:I have generated the baseband signal from ADS EDGE signal source
and save the data(mag and phase information) into a file,
the extension of this file is <finename>.dat (data file generally use this extension),
You seem to use "SDFWrite" component in Ptolemy Domain of Agilent ADS. Right ?
This is binary data for Vector Signal Analyzer such as Agilent VSA89600 or 89400.
Quote:does cadence understand this format? suppose if I will give this file to vpwlf signal source does it understand this format?
Spectre can't read SDF file.
As far as I know, there is no simulation tools which can read SDF except for ADS Ptolemy.
Even in ADS Ptolemy, occasionally we can't read SDF.
Currently standard format might be MAT File(MATLAB Binary File) even in VSA89600.
Use "Sinks/TimedDataWrite" in ADS Ptolemy for I and Q signal, then save each file as Isig.tim and Qsig.tim.
After easy modification of these files, you can use them in Spectre.
Quote:STM model files means ST Microelectronics Model files.
What is this ?
Transistor model ?
Quote:what I mean is: does IP3 and ACPR are the same definition
Of course, they are different.
Quote:or will give you same information? for nonlinear amplifier does IP3 make any sense?
You can relate them to some extent.
