Dear Sirs:

I use PSS and PNOISE to simulate the PFD/CP combined. I set up some phase difference between reference clock and feedback clock. I suppose to see the best phase noise occurs with zero phase difference and the larger phase difference, the worse phase noise characteristic. However, I saw a totally oppisite result. The worse phase noise occur while reference CLK and feedback CLK are locked. Anyone can explain this or point out what I did worng in my simulation setup? Thank you!!

I think the way you are measuring the phase noise from PFD-CP is not correct?
If you are taking the phase noise directly from the output this is what you will see.
