Spectre RF Application note question

wgtkan
wgtkan over 5 years ago

Hello, 

This is regarding the following application note which I found in the spectre RF workshop directory.

Spectre RF: PSTB Analysis Application Note from December 2013.

It does examples of RF simulation and mentions "to open a schematic for the oscillator_sckt in the library PSTB. Where is the library located at?

My Virtuoso version is:

Version IC6.1.8-64b.500.9

Spectre191

Thank you so much in advance.

    If you look in <SPECTREinstDir>/tools/spectre/examples/SpectreRF_workshop (i.e. where you found the app note):

    UNIX> ls
    JitterAN.pdf        PSRR_Osc_AN.pdf         RapidDist.tar.Z
    LTJM_AN.pdf         PSTB.pdf                SpectreRF_simulink_example.pdf
    Legacy              PSTB.tar.Z              SpectreRF_simulink_example.tar.Z
    MatlabAN.pdf        RF_Blocks.tar.Z         fe.pdf
    MatlabWorkshop.pdf  RF_Blocks_AN.pdf        fe.tar.Z
    PLL_Jitter_AN.pdf   RF_Doc_Database.tar.gz  readme.txt
    PSRR_Drv_AN.pdf     RapidDist.pdf           spectrerf_workshop_19.1.tar.gz
    

    Voilà!

    Andrew.

    The problem for people with little experience on Linux systems might be to recognize that *.tar.Z is a compressed archive, which can be unpacked for example as described at https://kb.iu.edu/d/acsy (however, this is actually mentioned right at the beginning of the application note...).
