Plotting phase spectrum

Hi,

Is it possible to plot the phase spectrum in cadece virtuoso? The DFT function in the calculator plots the amplitude spectrum, but how can I plot the phase?

Basically, I am trying to calculate the power in a nth harmonic oscillator. Power would be V*I*phase_difference. I am trying to calculate the phase difference between the nth harmonic voltage and nth harmonic current.

I use IC618.

Yes. The dft results produce complex values at each frequency point, and when you plot that as-is, it automatically plots the magnitude. However, you can use the phase or phaseDeg functions to plot the phase (note that it's in terms of cosine I think, so in this example where I just had three sine waves at different frequencies with different phases, the relative phases are correct):

Thanks Andrew. This is exactly what I was looking for.
