Term: Small Signal Model
Definition: A linearized version of a non-linear circuit that simplifies the analysis of circuit behavior under small variations in input.
Term: Transconductance (gm)
Definition: A parameter quantifying the change in output current in response to a change in input voltage, crucial for small signal analysis.
Term: Output Conductance (gd)
Definition: A measure of how the output current varies with the output voltage, used in analyzing output characteristics.
