pfc()

This measurement gives the RMS power value of one frequency component of a harmonic balance waveform

Syntax
y = pfc(vPlus, vMinus, iOut, harm_freq_index)

Arguments
Name Description Range Type Required
vPlus voltage at the positive output terminal (-∞, ∞) real, complex yes
vMinus voltage at the negative output terminal (-∞, ∞) real, complex yes
iOut current through a branch (-∞, ∞) real, complex yes
harm_freq_index harmonic index of the desired frequency † (-∞, ∞) integer array yes
Mix consists of all possible vectors of harmonic frequency (mixing terms) in the analysis † † (-∞, ∞) matrix no
† Note that the harm_freq_index argument's entry should reflect the number of tones in the harmonic balance controller. For example, if one tone is used in the controller, there should be one number inside the braces; two tones would require two numbers separated by a comma. † † Mix is required whenever the first argument is a spectrum obtained from an expression that operates on the voltage and/or current spectrums

Examples

The following example is for two tones in the Harmonic Balance controller:
y = pfc(vOut, 0, I_Probe1.i, {1, 0})

Notes/Equations

This function should not be used for DC measurements. If used, the results will be less by a factor of 2.0.
