Using sampled pxf analysis to simulate deterministic jitter

$

The Rapid Adoption Kit "Deterministic Jitter Measurement using SpectreRF" (https://support.cadence.com/apex/articleattachmentportal?id=a1O0V000009EVT2UAO) shows how a sampled pxf analysis can be used to simulate the deterministic jitter of a circuit due to power supply ripple. However, the setup shown there seems to be inspired by the recommended setup for a sampled pnoise analysis. In my opinion, a linear absolute frequency sweep up to the maximum ripple frequency with no additional sidebands will give a much clearer result here. Please compare the following plot to the plot on page 26 of the RAK:

For reference, here is the corresponding netlist:
