Stop Time in Transient Analysis

Hadi Hayati
Hadi Hayati over 11 years ago

Hi

I have designed an oscillator which its center frequency is 2GHz and there seems to be a problem with its stop time I guess...

When I choose stop time for example 50ns, the oscillator works well and I can see the output waveforms. And if stop time is greater than 50ns (0.5us for example), then all I have at outputs is a straight line... There is no signal.

Anybody can help me out with this?

 

Regards,

Hadi

    Thank you all

    The problem was all about "step time". Seems we should define step time manually... 

     One more question: Why should we enable conservative in errpreste? I enabled conservative mode and I found out the frequency of output waveform varied slightly. Which one is correct, enable it or not?

    regards
