Trouble Simulating a High-Frequency Circuit in OrCAD Capture

Ruby Grace
Ruby Grace over 2 years ago

I'm working on a project that involves a high-frequency RF circuit. I've designed the circuit diagram using OrCAD Capture and set up the simulation environment accordingly. However, when I run the simulation, I'm not getting the results I expected. The circuit seems to be behaving differently than anticipated, and I'm having trouble pinpointing the issue.

I've double-checked the components and connections in the circuit diagram, and everything looks accurate to me. I'm using appropriate models for RF components and have considered the parasitic elements as well. I suspect it might have something to do with the simulation settings or perhaps some intricacies related to high-frequency simulations that I might not be aware of.

    Can you share what exactly is the issue you are facing ?
    If you can share some snapshots or more details about the problem, we can try to see what might be causing the issue.

    Without parasitic extraction of component packaging and the pcb, not sure you can get useful results for RF with "ideal" connections in p-spice.  

    RF Engineers use MW/HFSS for circuit blocks.   

    Much of the design comes from adding stuffing options and alternate paths to the pcb to finish the design on the bench.
