      Hi. Im trying to simulate this Transmitter circuit for my final year project. As Im trying to do the analysis it stated that ‘GMIN Stepping really failed!’. How can I solve this problem? Im looking forward to testing the analysis on Optisystem afterwards.

      Hi,
      This error usually occurs when the simulator cannot find a DC solution for the first time step. This can be very challenging when you have multiple transistors in a circuit. Instead of starting your voltage or current sources from a certain value you can try to ramp them up slowly (using Vpulse or Ipulse) during the transient simulation.
