Setting Up for Substrate Coupling Analysis

RFStuff

 Dear All,

I was going through Substrate Coupling Analysis User Guide.


it has been recommended as :-

 
 Note: If you want to use SCA in your RF design flow you are advised to take the Cadence
SpectreRF/SCA training class. The training materials contain an RF demo circuit and a Diva
rule deck that contains special rules for SCA and illustrates a simulation with SpectreRF.

Can I get this training material or is there any other material which can help in this regard.

Kind Regards,

Parents
    1. QRC is Cadence's parasitic extraction suite - it can handle both cell-level extraction (formerly known as Fire and Ice) which uses a DEF description of the layout (for example) or full polygon extraction (formerly known as Assura RCX). The cell-level extractor is for place and routed designs and doesn't require an LVS step; the polygon extractor requires an LVS tool in conjunction with the extractor - this can be Assura, PVS or Calibre. QRC can extract both conventional parasitics (RLCK) and also the substrate mesh.
    2. The software comes in the "PVE" stream available on downloads.cadence.com - the latest release being PVE121. The documentation is accessible via cdnshelp in this stream - or via the files in <PVE121instDir>/doc. You can also access the QRC documentation (e.g. the QRC Extraction Users Manual) via Cadence Online Support. You can also contact customer support in the same place if you need further assistance.
    3. See 1.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
