Sreejith,
It has been a while since I did this. I don't use cadence
for simulations but in hspice I would probably use a switch
circuit to pull down the input by vswing/2 from its AC
biases value. This is assuming your
pulse train starts low and then goes high. Your switch
is initially closed but then opens shortly after the
transient simulation starts.
If this approach does not work then hopefully I've given
you some suggestions. If you didn't have a switch then
I guess you could push or pull current at the input node
to and experiment to get the correct vswing/2 offset. Then
shut the current source off as the incident voltage signal
arrives.
Mike
