Course Description
In this course for RF designers, you learn to perform RF circuit analysis. This course explores applications of the Harmonic Balance (HB) engine used for RF analyses in the Virtuoso® Spectre® RF circuit simulator environment. You learn simulation setup methods of various analyses pertaining to commonly used RF circuits to simulate periodic operating points, transients, and RF envelopes. In detail, you evaluate noise, stability, and parameters, such as IP3. You then examine the simulation solver, emphasizing the parameters and convergence aids that help optimize and speed up the simulation while analyzing large RF circuits. Envelope analysis and S-parameter extraction are also discussed.
