In Cadence,
I want to simulate the SFDR of my design by "dft" in caculator. But I got a very small SFDR, no more than 20dB. I think this is not correct, not because of my design, but my simulation. I check my simulation, and I find a strange thing that when I caculate the input signal (by ''dft'' in caculator), which is set as a ideal sin wave (the frequency is "fsin", and the period is "Tsin") by ADE in simulation setup, I got a big pulse in the point of "fsin" in frequency domain, and many small pulse of other frequency, just like the backgroud noise. In frequency domain, The difference of the max value of "fsin" and the max value of those small pulses is only about 66dB. That means I input a NOT clean singal to my circuits, how could I got a good SFDR? And I think I should get only a pure frequency point "fsin" when I "dft" the input ideal sin wave, but why those small pulses appear?
I setup the "dft" condition fsin=40M, start time=2u, end time=4u, numble of sample=1024, the length of my simulation time is 6u. why I could not get the ideal dft result?
who could help me? many thanks!
