Term: Linearization
Definition: The process of approximating a non-linear function by a linear function near a specific point, typically to simplify analysis.
Term: Small Signal Model
Definition: An equivalent circuit representation for analyzing the behavior of circuits when small variations occur around an operating point.
Term: Quiescent Point (Qpoint)
Definition: The point representing the DC bias conditions in a transistor circuit, around which small-signal behavior is analyzed.
