Term: Diode Characteristic
Definition: The relationship between the current flowing through a diode and the voltage across it, typically exhibiting exponential behavior.
Term: Graphical Method
Definition: A method used for solving circuit equations by plotting characteristic curves and finding their intersections.
Term: Iterative Method
Definition: A numerical approach that progressively improves the accuracy of circuit parameter estimates by applying previously obtained values.
Term: Small Signal Equivalent Circuit
Definition: A linear approximation used for analyzing non-linear circuits by translating them into simpler forms around a bias point.
