Current Mirror Output resistance waveform

Hello,

I am testing and small current mirror circuit using spectre simulation. For DC analysis everything is working but for small signal AC analysis I am measuring the output resistance by running AC simulation but It's not giving me any results. As per my knowledge, Current mirror Output resistance is rout=1/(lambda*Id) so my equation for output resistance is (1 / IF("/I0/I_OUT")) and for anaylysis I have chosen "ac" and Sweep variable as frequency and I am sweeping it from 1 to 100Ghz. For simple current mirror It's not showing any wave form but for cascode current mirror its showing a wave form. Could anyone guide me where I am going wrong ?

Thanks

    Thanks for the hint, I just noticed that my source AC voltage was missing :D,

    Its working fine now
