HBAC analysis issue, while simulating a mixer from Cadence examples

apaj

Hello, 

I am having two errors in setting up the HBAC analysis. I am trying to run simulations described in Cadence examples/RFworkshop/docs for a mixer.

HB analysis runs smoothly, but when I try to run the HBAC - I get the following messages:

ERROR (SFE-874): "input.scs" 76: Unexpected identifier "annotate". Expected equals.

ERROR (SFE-678): "input.scs" 76: Statement is not in Spectre format. Use `simulator lang = spice' to introduce spice language sections.

I tried changing the default setting of the Annotate Parameter in ADE->HBAC->Options form, but with no success - the same thing happens. I have set up all the other stuff as shown in Cadence example.

Could you please try to help me out and let me know how to solve these errors?

Thank you for your time.

  •  Hm...

    I guess I found the problem... There was a space between 5001 and M... which, it seems,  made the software think something else, instead of 5001 MHz, i.e. 5.001 GHz.

    So I put the following 5.001G and now I have it running... Sorry for bothering about a stupid typo - I apologize for wasting time.

    Nevertheless, I have another question. What is a master.tag file?

    Namely, when I was putting together the test bench from the Mixer example, I was asked to put a component called balun_ideal. When I put - I could not run the damn thing. A colleage of mine told me that I need to create a new view (config) and the I will be able to run simulations of a schematic containing components from rfLib. But, when I try to do so, I get the following message:

    Warning: The cellview (rfLib balun_ideal veriloga) may exist, but the master.tag is bad, or the view's master was not found.

    Why config view must be created, in the first place (the colleague just saw it done - he didn't know why)? And what does master.tag do and what does it mean "it's bad"?

    When I use component "balun" instead of "balun_ideal", I can successfully create the config view, and then the simulation runs - that's how I kno that the config-trick works.

    Thank you for you time and effort.
