I am trying to simulate a simple series RLC circuit, r= 50 ohm, l = 397nH, and C = 10fF.
This should resonate at 2.5 GHz.
I do a AC sweep (with a source having AC magnitude = 1) for this and plot the voltage across the resistor. Now at 2.5Ghz it shold show me a magnitude of 1 V across the resistor but it shows me a magnitude of only 0.6 V ? Please help

So in terms of dB....the maximum that I am getting is a -4dB peak at 2.5GHz....where as it shold be 0dB at this frrequency. Maybe I am amking a mistake in the simulation setup??? so if someone has at his disposle a circuit simulator can you please simulate it?

SOLVED!

Just posting what was wrong if it may help anyone else : When I was doing the AC sweep my step size was very large...which then missed the exact frequency at which the amplitude is indeed 0dB
