Abstract
As per standard circuit analysis techniques, a small alternating current (AC) signal, at various frequencies, is used to analyze the frequency domain characteristics of a given circuit. The AC signal is either sinusoidal or a noise source, and the test circuit is linearized around a direct current (DC) operating point, eliminating all large signal behavior, e.g., distortion. Small signal analysis is built into both LSF and ELN formalisms.
