THD of an RF Amplifier

growingmind

Hello,

I need to simulate the THD of a wideband amplifier (0-100GHz) using Cadence Virtuoso/Spectre RF.

Can I just use PSS simulation for this ?  I need the THD as a percentage. 

How would I calculate this based on PSS results ?

Thank you.

    You can do this with pss or hb analysis. On the Results->Direct Plot->Main Form:
