You had better never trust Direct Plot of Cadence ADE.
I recommend you not to use Direct Plot of Cadence ADE.
Define your own equations even in Cadence Post Processing Environment for Cadence Spectre.
As you know, we define our own equations in Agilent ADS Post Processing Environment.

(probing the output node, the input node, and the supply voltage node),
I still got PAE greater than 150 %. >:(
That's why I am wondering about how PAE is evaluated in SpectreRF.
Anything wrong in the calculation of PAE in SpectreRF ????
It has no relation to Cadence Spectre.Calculating PAE is a task in Cadence Post Processing Environment not Cadence Spectre.
See
http://www.designers-guide.org/Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1264511244/3#3Activate "Add to Outputs". Then save it as OCEAN Scripts.
Show me the followings.
- Spectre Netlist regarding Analysis Statements and Signal Source definitions.
- Ocean Scripts including equation for calculating PAE.
The followings are general notes for you.
- Always describe correct tool's name and vendor's name which you use as tool or simulator.
- Don't do multiple posts which are same content.
- Don't request source code or behavioral model without any efforts.
- There are many simulators which have analyses called as PSS, PAC and Pnoise.
- Describe in detail with using correct terminologies.
- Warnigns are different from Errors.
- ADS is not name of simulator.
- There is no tool which name is Cadence.
- Don't use Direct Plot of Cadence ADE blindly without knowing definition.
- All gains in Direct Plot of Cadence ADE are "right", "true" and "practical" voltage gain.
-
Don't mix up Simulation with Post Processing. They are completely different phase.- MATLAB are different from Simulink.
- Learn measurements using actual instruments. Not "EDA Tool Play
