We am currently working on a RF to DC rectifier design in cdesigner tool. We are having problem with our schematic mainly because I am confused with the source that we are using.
Most sources that I have read uses sources which are in dbm (-4 dbm, -10 dbm) , I believe the appropriate source for this is "psin" source. The problem is, we are not sure how to actually use it and what parameters are needed for it to work properly.
Currently we are using "vsin" source and just convert values from dbm to v peak. But I feel like this source did not factor in the 50 Ohm impedance. That's why I'm not very confident with it and seems like very inaccurate especially in getting our PCE.
Help.
