Magnitude value in AC simulation with Cadence Virtuoso

Senan
Senan over 2 years ago

Hello,

I would like to ask you about the "Magnitude" value we define in the input sine signal when performing the AC simulation,

I usually set it to "1" so I can easily interpolate the output signal as the gain of my amplifier as simply the output is equal to gain when input is one.

However, it just came to my mind if this value has an effect on the amplifier small signal characteristics or not, just I want to verify this point.

Thank you

Regards

    Dear Senan,

    I am just happy to read it was a little helpful to you - so thank you for letting us know!

    nd your suggested balun, it is indeed masterpiece to see a balun with such a range, I could have find some people selling it in ebay and I requested them to buy it, looking very interesting.

    Great! I would definitely recommend picking up a couple - I used them extensively in measurements as did others in our team. Good luck Senan!
