supply noise modeling in cadence (Read 3507 times)

rf_man Junior Member Offline Posts: 28	supply noise modeling in cadence Sep 07^th, 2009, 7:37am I would like to simulate NF of an wideband RF amplifier in Spectre, in the specification it is specified that the supply noise can be max. 50nV/sqrt(Hz). From this and the bandwidth also known, I can calculate the rms noise voltageof the supply noise, but how can I bring this supply noise into the simulation?

If you use (say) the vsource in analogLib for your supply, then there is a parameter "Display noise parameters" which you can check. Then select Noise/Frequency Points as the Noise Entry Method and specify the number of noise/freq pairs you want. If using the older vdc source, you can just directly enter the number of noise/freq pairs you want.

Then enter the noise values in V^2/Hz for a set of frequencies.

Andrew.
