PLL Phase Noise Analysis using Cadence Virtuso

[Himali]

Hi,

Can anybody tell me the procedure to simulate the phase noise of PLL using Cadence Virtuoso tool ? I want to obtain the SSB power spectral density plot for each and every PLL Block and observe the sideband noise power in terms of decibels below carrier (dBc/Hz).

Thanks in advance,
Himali.

Hi Himali,
Go through an attachment to do Phase Noise Simulation of VCO and PLL.
I believe you need Spectre RF to do PSS Noise Simulation .

also, you can go through help manual of cadence.
