Issue on plotting Phase Noise curve

YutaoLiu

Hi all,

I am using Virtuoso Custom IC design Environment version ICADVM20.1-64b.500.21.

I ran PSS and PNOISE to characterize ring oscillator's phase noise. PSS and PNOISE setup is shown below.

Simulation completed successfully, but it failed to plot "Phase Noise", but "output noise" for saved net can be plot. 

The error message is listed below:

*Error* difference: can't handle (srrWave:0x905e0040 - nil)

How can I resolve this issue? Or it there any workaround I can get Phase noise (dBc/Hz)?

Thanks and regards,

Yutao

    First thing to check is whether the two nodes you list on the pnoise analysis as the output are being saved in the PSS results (have you got save=selected on the Save All form, and if so, have you specifically asked for these nodes to be saved in ADE?)

    If it's not that, please contact customer support.
