how to calculate THD ??

Muffassir

 Hi all;

 

 I want to calculate the total harmonic distortion (%)   of my analog circuit.. I have two inputs as Vx and Vy ..Wherein i want to plot the THD variation due to input voltage swing between 0 and 1.8V while Vx set to different DC values.

How can i do that in cadence . I am using Cadence 6.1.4.500 and ADE L . and gpdk180.

 

Thanks in advance..

    For a single transient run, you can use the thd function in the calculator. Then you could do a two dimensional parametric sweep of Vx and Vy to get the curve you want.
