Hi,

Does someone know how to use FFT to transform the transient waveform into frequency domain in
cadence analog simulation environment? and is there any way to calculate the amplitude of one
time domain waveform? I coudn't find a good reference for the analog simulation environment.
Thank you very much for your help!

does the wave be in AC?

transient analysis first

Transient analysis first you see waveform then:
There is a push-button in the toolbar with words: FFT, look it up...

and the second method is:

just use calculator, click vt and choose the node you want to take fft. Then choose dft in calculator and choose the appropriate time interval and finally plot it

choose a proper window is very important

Yes, I finally got it. The setup is kind of tricky. I'll have to run a long transient time to get the frequency window. Thank you guys!

A question about dft:

Does Cadence support different kind of windows?


Thx

Yes, there are about a dozen of windows you can choose.
