pss results from different frequencies

asetji

Hi,

I am doing a pss simulation with frequency as the sweep variable. My simulation setup is following

 

My design variables are set as following

Now, once the simulations are finished I can plot the desired parameter (i am interested in current here) and I get a family of curves. Now, I am only interested in value of the signal at the fundamental frequency i.e., during the first sweep when 'f' was 100G, I want the value of the signal at 100G, when 'f' was 110G I want the value of the signal at 110G and so on.

I did the similar thing using harmonic balance simulations and there I plotted the desired signal using "ih("hb" "/V1/PLUS" 1)", however i am not able to achieve the similar result using PSS. Please advise it can be achieved.

    In the beat frequency, don't put 10G (that's a good way of unnecessarily slowing the simulation down) - put "f" as that's your fundamental.

    Then your expression can simply be ih("pss" "/V1/PLUS" 1) because it will always be the first harmonic, regardless of the frequency you're at in the sweep.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
