LTspice: THD error list to FFT display
« on: November 10, 2018, 12:46:14 am »
Hi

I use LTspice for circuit simulations and THD tests. Is there a way to convert the data of the error log showing the amplitude of the ten harmonics into a spectral or FFT display?
Actually, I know it is done but how?

Thanks

You can get FFT display from the waveform viewer: right-click -> pop-up menu -> View -> FFT
Then you can select the waveform you want to perform an FFT on and additional FFT options (window, nb of points...)

Don't forget to select an appropriate FFT window depending on your needs, as the default is no window (thus a rectangular window) which would be appropriate only if you dealt with an integer number of periods of signal, which is rarely the case.
