NF simulation using port as input(cadence spectre)
Nov 03rd, 2007, 7:37am
 
Hi, there
I am simulating the NF of a differential LNA, and i found the setup confused me much. I use port as my input source,connect in parallel a resistor with this port and assign to this resistor the same resistance value as that of the port resistance(i made this parallel resistor noiseless), under this set up I can get a NF curve. Of course if I drop the resistor in parallel with the port, I got a different curve. surely there is only one true curve. so which setup should I take to get the right value?


B.R.

Is the resistor part of your circuit? If so, it should be there. If not, it should not.
