Carrier Analyzer (ECN) - INTERCONNECT Element

name

Defines the name of the element.

annotate

Defines whether or not to display annotations on the schematic editor.

enabled

Defines whether or not the element is enabled.

type

Defines the element unique type (read only).

description

A brief description of the elements functionality.

prefix

Defines the element name prefix.

model

Defines the element model name.

library

Defines the element location or source in the library (custom or design kit).

local path

Defines the local path or working folder $LOCAL for the element.

url

An optional URL address pointing to the element online help.

icon type

Defines the icon or element symbol view option.

signal reference input

Defines whether or not to enable the signal reference input port. The reference port allows for measurements of gain and noise figure by comparing input signals from both input ports.

limit frequency range

Enables setting the frequency range of the analysis.

frequency range

The frequency range (bandwidth) of the analysis.

THz*

*std. unit is Hz

power unit

Defines the power unit to plot the results.

frequency carriers

Defines whether the carrier frequency values are defined as a table or the values are automatic calculated from peak detection.

peak threshold

Signal power must be greater than the power established by the peak threshold limit. The peak threshold limit is set by subtracting the peak threshold value from the power of the largest signal peak value.

peak excursion

The peak excursion defines the rise and fall in amplitude that must take place in order for a peak to be recognized.

pit excursion

The pit excursion value is used to determine whether or not a local minimum in the signal is to be considered a pit.

carriers table

The table containing the carrier frequency values

GHz*

*std. unit is Hz

load carriers from file

Defines whether or not to load load frequency values from an input file or to use the currently stored values.

carriers filename

The file containing the carrier frequency values. Refer to the Implementation Details section for the format expected.

remove dc

Defines whether or not to display the DC component.

sensitivity

The minimum detectable signal power level.

dBm*

*std. unit is W

bandwidth

Defines the resolution bandwidth.

GHz*

*std. unit is Hz

interpolation offset

Defines the interpolation offset used for determining noise. It is the offset applied on each side of a detected signal peak.

GHz*

*std. unit is Hz

limit time range

Enables setting the time range( start/stop) of the analysis.

start time

Time instant to start the signal analysis.

stop time

Time instant to stop the signal analysis.

input signal selection

Input signal selection option.

input signal index

The signal index to analyzed.

include delays

Defines whether inserted delays should be included as part of the signal or not.

refresh

Defines whether or not to update display and annotations during the simulation.

refresh length

Defines how ofter to update the element. This is the minimum number of new data values available at the element input port that will trigger the element update.
