Extracting 1dB bandwidth from parametric sweep-DFT results

YutaoLiu

Hi all,

I am using ADE assembler.

I ran transient simulation and swept the input frequency (Fin) of the circuit. And I use Spectrum Measurement to return a value of the fundamental tone magnitude (Sig_fund) for each sweep point. 

Previously, I use "plot across design points" to plot both "Fin" and "Sig_fund", and then use "Y vs Y" to get a waveform of Sig_fund vs Fin. Measure the 1dB Bandwidth with markers. 

Can I realized above measurement with an expression in "output setup" ? And how?

I know to set the "Eval type" to "sweep" to process the data across sweep points. But here, it has to return an interpolated value from "Fin" with a criteria "(value(calcVal("Sig_fund"  0) - 1)". I am not sure whether it can be done in ADE assembler.

Thanks and regards,

Yutao
