5 Enter the frequency band for the ABS in the Start and Stop text entry boxes.<br />

This completes setting up an ABS frequency sweep for the parameter sweep. You<br />

would also need to select the parameters which you want to use in the parameter<br />

sweep and enter their data ranges before closing this dialog box.<br />

Analysis Issues<br />

There are several issues you should be aware of before using the ABS technique;<br />

these are covered below.<br />

Multiple Box Resonances<br />

You should be aware that circuits with multiple box resonances make it difficult<br />

for an ABS analysis to converge. The frequency band for an adaptive sweep<br />

should not contain multiple box resonances. If multiple box resonances are present<br />

the number of discrete full analysis points goes up dramatically and synthesis<br />

of the data becomes very difficult. If you do not know how to identify box resonances,<br />

see Chapter 22, “Package Resonances” for a detailed discussion of box<br />

resonances.<br />
