and have them solved by SPICE-like simulators is termed as: Device Characterization./ G9 p( r: L* U5 [+ i
The fully Characterizations are treated by two independent steps:3 c1 F& A% U' F9 \3 v" n n

DC analysis determines the Q-point, including each node voltage and branch current.( ^7 u5 L7 d' @, w L
AC analysis gives the frequency response, including bandwidth and gain.

It has to do with the present of an active component in the circuit.& [. e _3 \ y: \" C0 t" E
The active component is a nonlinear element.So, it will have to be linearized.
