What simulator do you use ?
There are many simulators working on Cadence ADE.
Cadence Spectre -->> SSB Phase Noise
Agilent ADS(RFDE) -->> SSB Phase Noise
Agilent GoldenGate -->> DSB Phase Noise

Correct.
modern_analog wrote on Sep 6th, 2008, 7:37pm:A related question: When we measure on a spectrum analyzer, I believe we only measure Single sideband. Is that correct?
Old Spectrum Analyzer or VCO analyzer show SSB Phase Noise.
But relative new Spectrum Analyzer or Signal Source Analyzer show DSB Phase Noise.
See documents of your Spectrum Analyzer.

If it is SSB Phase Noise, it is yes.
And some Spectrum Analyzer have built-in jitter calculation ability from Phase Noise Spectrum measurement.
