PSS for PLL loop

RaghavendraN
RaghavendraN over 2 years ago

I am runnnig PSS for PLL with VCO and divider being ideal. I see that PLL loop is converged in PSS. Loop bandwidth is 10MHz. When I give -100dBc noise in reference signal source to PFD, at the output of vco, I am seeing 1/s (integrator) behaviour even below the bandwidth of PLL. Ideally, within the bandwidth , there should be flat noise from reference source. I turned off all noises except reference voltage source. How to interpret this behaviour at VCO noise?

    how did you build an ideal divider? The PSS analysis didn't work with the Verilog-A divider code due to what is called hidden states.

    See the RF models at https://designers-guide.org/verilog-ams/index.html for an example.
