    Impulse Sensitivity Function

    Dear all, I found some threads about this topic, but quite old. So I would like to put some questions about the simulation of the ISL. One post from 2005 says that ISF is obtained using transient functions. How do I do it ? Are these steps wrong ? 1 - Generate a transient analysis (let's say...

    Modelling a PLL in Verilog A/AMS

    Dear all, I am designing a behavioral model for a PLL. As I am new to this language, I have decided to start with the oscillator. I have just to copied and paste a piece of code that I found on Cadence's documentation. The problem is that I get an error which I cannot solve. Some lines of...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Hi, Thanks a lot for everything. The plots, now, look like they should. Thanks for your precious help. Best regards, Pedro

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Hi, New day, and the problems persist :-| . I took the generic control function, \[ H(s)= \frac{\omega_n^2}{s^2 + 2\zeta \omega_n s + \omega_n^2}\] and derived for s=jw/wn so I obtained, \[ H \left(j \frac{\omega}{\omega_n} \right)=\frac{\omega_n^2}{-\left(\frac{\omega}{\omega_n}\right)^2+...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    I hope the plots are visible now :-) I would like to be able to plot something like this: and not like this: Best regards, Pedro

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Hi, Understand your point. Please try to answer these questions point by point: 1 - If you have H=tf(num,den), where num=[4] and den=[2 3 4], the outcome will be (MatLab) 4/(2*s^2 + 3s + 4), the denominator is equivalent to: \[\frac{2 \zeta \omega_n s +...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Thanks for having answered to one more question. I think that the curves look ok, but I have used a concept that uses the time constant of the filter as being tau2, thus w3db=1/tau2 (let´s say the BW of the loop). And I am not sure that this is correct. I agree with you that to obtain the...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Hi, I am not quite there yet, but I did some improvements, however the curves for different zeta values (damping), don't converge to the same point. There is no intersection. I did what you wrote on the first post: 1 - I have chosen K (50e6) 2 - Found a value for tau2, such that zeta=0.707. 3...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Good afternoon, I am sorry to post from the 3rd time. I did a small function in MatLab. %% Plots magnitude of H(s) K=5e7; %loop gain zeta=[5 2 1 0.707 0.5 0.3 0.1]; %damping for n=1:length(zeta) tau2=((2*zeta(n)).^2)./K; wn=sqrt(K./tau2)...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Hi, I am not still seeing the way it is done, I am sorry I know I am being dumb. For eg. Are you suggesting that I should create a vector with tau2 points, and then generate K ? But K is affected by other gains and tau2 and tau1,as well. Do I have to care about that, or should I see K as one...

    How to plot a normalized TF

    Dear all, I am doing some Matlab code to simulate PLLs. I am using the book "PhaseLock Techniques" by Gardner. I wanted to replicate some of the graphs to check my understanding. However I can't. For eg. in the book Gardner plots 20 log|H(jw)| vs w/wn. Maybe this is a silly question, but all...

    Phase noise using AWGN in MatLab

    Hi, Thanks for your answer. Well, I wanted to use awgn function, but to modulate it into the signal. Best regards, Pedro

    Phase noise using AWGN in MatLab

    Dear all, I am trying to simulate the phase noise on Matlab using only gaussian noise. What I expect is that, interms of the signal (eg. sinewave) it shifts in phase due to noise. For that I don't need the awgn on top of the signal, but the signal itself with the noise built-in. Best regards...

    Jitter analysis settings - Urgent

    HI, I am about to finish my 80 MHz Quartz Crystal VCO, but I am not confident on Jitter's results. Please try to answer these questions, as fast as you can, as I have the tape-out in August of the full PLL: 1 - For the VCO circuits (autonomous circuits), which jitter measurement type should I...

    Different results for Jitter and Phase-Noise

    Hi, Thanks for the link. It is very useful to understand the several types of Jitter. But I needed to know how to calculate jitter on Cadence having the phase noise already. Best regards, Pedro
