EVM and constellation of mixer

aissusDZ
aissusDZ over 1 year ago

Hello,

I am trying to design an RF mixer for a TX.
Assume my input IF signal is at 1 GHz, my LO at 2 GHz and I want my RF at 3 GHz, and assume that the mixer fully works after testing it with HB.
How to simply set the envelope analysis to check the EVM ?
I read through the documentation but I couldn't get it (I couldn't fully understand the settings of the source, probe, analysis.)
Which source and probe to use? I want custom modulation with custom bandwidth and center frequency.
Is there some examples for the ENVLP analysis ?

I am using IC23.1 and spectre 20.1.354.

    Hello Frank,
    thanks for the reply. I have read through it before. it doesn't go into much details and it's good for specific standards.
    I would appreciate a more detailed RAK with custom example and explanations for different settings.
