I have specified the beat frequency as 50 MHz (1/20nsec.) is PSS
analysis setup.

Sam,
If you have a fundamental period of 2us, shouldn't the fundamental
frequency ("beat frequency") be 500kHz?
You need a period of the common frequency to be able to contain an
integer number of cycles of all the periods.

Andrew.

Sorry, actually while posting, being unmindful, I have written 50 MHz. In the setup, I really put 500 KHz as the beat frequency !
So, please suggest any solution!

After setting the parameter "steadyratio" (in accuracy setting) to 0.065 (default is 0.01 in case of Conservative "errpreset"), the PSS analysis converged. Is this setting fine to to accept the result?

Yes, that should be fine.
