How to evaluate the large-signal stability of power amplifiers?

Hi, everyone,

I am a student learning  to use Cadence' s suite of tools. I wonder how to evaluate the large-signal stability of power amplifier using Cadence' s design tools.

I know that Keysight's ADS software offers a method called WSprobe for assessing the large-signal stability of power amplifiers. But I am also interested in whether Cadence's suite of tools provides a similar functionality or if there are alternative, more effective methods for large-signal stability assessment. I have found that the Kf method is not suitable for our complex circuit, so I am seeking alternative solutions to ensure the stability of our circuits.

If such tools are available in Cadence, I also want to know the detailed information on how to use them, as well as their advantages and limitation. If there are no similar tools within Cadence's offerings, I would also like to know if there are any alternative suggestions or techniques that can help us effectively assess the large-signal stability of power amplifiers using Cadence tools.

Thanks a lot for help!

Regards,

Cai

    Microwave Office (another Cadence product, formerly AWR) may support the Winslow Stability Probe.   It is not my product area, so I'd need an AE from that team to comment.

    best regards,
