Verifying PSTB results by using PAC results.

Dear All,

We have successfully verified the STB analysis results by using AC analysis results.   

We have injected voltage and the current sources as given in the document https://kenkundert.com/docs/cd2001-01.pdf.

And for each we have found the AC gains. We then used the equations given in pages 35-36 of the above document. 

However, for PSTB:-  how to use the PAC results to verify the PSTB result is the QUESTION. We are NOT sure which PAC-sideband Spectre is taking ?

Could anybody please tell me how to verify the PSTB results with PAC results.

I have filed a SR Case# 46338720 regarding this. But, it is still hanging over months.

I guess, the AEs may NOT be able to understand the questions or they do NOT find the right person in R&D to clear the doubts.

Kind Regards,

    How PSTB works has never been a secret. It's a pretty obvious extension of Michael Tian's STB analysis that I originally proposed in 2004 (see https://designers-guide.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1107716368).

    Hi Frank,

    The URL in the designer's guide forum posting you note is no longer current. I happen to have the original article in journal format, and I believe the new URL to Ken's article is:

    https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/900125/

    This may be helpful to those who want to pursue your recommendation!

    Shawn

    That's correct, and you can also directly access the article with the link https://kenkundert.com/docs/cd2001-01.pdf that RFStuff mentioned.
