Course Description
In this course for RF designers, you gain advanced knowledge of RF circuit analysis. This course explores applications of the Shooting Newton 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, etc. You evaluate noise, stability, and parameters, such as IP3, in detail. You also examine the simulation solver with an emphasis on the parameters and convergence aids that help optimize and speed up the simulation while analyzing large RF circuits. Initially, Periodic-Steady State (pss) Analysis and Quasi-Periodic State State (qpss) Analysis are discussed. Next, you learn how to apply these Analyses to Oscillators. Then various Small-Signal Analyses like Periodic AC (pac), Quasi-Periodic AC (qpac), Periodic Transfer Function (pxf), Periodic S-Parameter (psp), Perioidc Stability (pstb) Periodic Noise (pnoise), etc. are discussed. Finally, this course discusses different Analyses for Switched Capacitor Circuits and Capacitance-To-Voltage (C2V) Converters Based Circuits are discussed.
