Simulation Start-up Transients

When you're performing AC simulations, be careful about start-up transients. It may take several cycles of the input waveform before the output settles down to a stable signal. We discuss and illustrate the effect here. References: AC Electrical Circuit Analysis: A Practical Approach; Chapters 1 and 2.
