I have been trying to verify correct usage of the spectre rf pnoise sim in my circuit by doing a simple switch cap sim, and have ran into issues(even after reading the switch cap paper).
If i set noise type=sources, run the frequency well beyond the noise bandwidth set by the rc, I get the correct sqrt(kt/c) value for integrated noise,20uV.
If I then change setting to the timedomain and run again the noise is much higher. It is clear when i view the n() plot that the noise is spiking at intervals of the pss period. in the paper i did not see the setup of the sim but noticed the clock freq was 1mhz, and it appeared that the flat thermal noise was measured in sim and then multiplied by the 4rc noise bandwidth to get the total noise as opposed to integrating the full sweep to verify total noise? I would normally ask if I am missing something, but I know that I am so I will start off by asking, what am I missing? how can i accurately measure switch cap circuit noise if artificial noise is being injected at sample frequency?
I have attached a screenshot of the two sims and total noise results.
