bandwidth function in Virtuoso calculator

sidm

Hi All,

I am trying to use the bandwidth function in Virtuoso calculator in IC6.1.8

Do I have to ensure that the input signal to the bandwidth function is in a particular format like non db20 or only a magnitude function ?

When I am applying the bandwidth function to a db20 format wave then the 3db results from the calculator don't match with the visual results for me.

regards

    No, the signal should just be a normal AC signal without modifiers (the examples in the documentation show this):

    bandwidth( v( "/OUT" ) 3 "low")

    It would certainly give the wrong answer if you passed in a waveform already in dB.
