Performance Analysis

Abstract

Performance analysis uses measurement definitions to scan a family of curves in Probe and to return a series of values based on the measurement definition. After sweeping a voltage source connected to a CR network, a series of capacitor voltage charging curves are to be obtained. Running a performance analysis using the rise time measurement definition on the resulting waveforms generates a series of rise time values plotted against the swept source voltage. PSpice includes over 50 measurement definitions. The measurement definitions also give an option to define the range over which users want the measurement to be made. For example, the Center-Frequency_XRange definition gives the option to measure ...
