Help about  .pnoise in SpcetreRF
Nov 13th, 2008, 6:08pm
 
In "Simulating Switched-Capacitor Filters with SpectreRF"(http://www.designers-guide.org/Analysis/sc-filters.pdf) Listing 1:


unsmpldNoise (out 0) pnoise start=0_Hz stop=10/TCLK maxsideband=100
smpldNoise (out 0) pnoise start=0_Hz stop=0.5/TCLK maxsideband=100 \
noisetype=timedomain noisetimepoints=[0] \
numberofpoints=1


Differente parameters bettween "unsmpldNoise" and  "smpldNoise"  is "stop", and so the power spectral density of the 2 pnoise analyse is greatly different.
my question is :
what does parameter "stop" mean in .pnoise analysis and how can i explain the phenomena occured above?

In sampled (or strobed, or timedomain) pnoise analysis, all the noise is aliased into the frequency range between 0 and half the "Beat Frequency" of the associated pss analysis (see figure 3 of the paper). The parameters start and stop specify the frequency range for the analysis.
