SmartSpiceRF employs a combination of Time-Domain Shooting and Frequency-Domain Harmonic Balance methods to provide accurate simulation of GHz range RF ICs. It accurately and efficiently simulates harmonic distortion, intermodulation products, gains, noise, oscillator’s phase noise in non-linear circuits using SPICE netlists.

Key Features

• Performs complete set of periodic and quasi-periodic steady-state analyses for large-signal and small-signal applications - each with full parametric sweep and Monte Carlo control parameters
   
• Time-domain Shooting method to simulate periodic steady-state of highly nonlinear circuits
   
• Time-Frequency domain Envelope analysis of circuits driven by digitally modulated sources
   
• A complete set of digitally modulated signals is supported together with all SmartSpice models for large-signal, small-signal, noise, and parametric analysis
   
• Provides simulations and measurements of the spectral regrowth, I/Q parameters, ACPR, NPR, EVM, BER in amplifiers/mixers, and characterization of the transmission link quality in communications systems, etc.
