The procedure of establishing equations, describing device's electrical characteristics, in a compact model
and have them solved by SPICE-like simulators is termed as: Device Characterization.
The fully Characterizations are treated by two independent steps:

. g* V  _# C# z7 linto the DC part and the AC part. The AC signals are superimposed on the DC signals.
The two independent quantities, AC quantities and DC quantities,
can be determined by means of two independent means in circuit analyses.
Firstly, DC analysis is carried out in order to determine DC bias points, which are the DC quantities $V_{E}$ $V_{B}$ $V_{C}$ $I_{E}$ $I_{B}$ $I_
{C}$.The DC analysis are performed when the original circuit is simplified into the equivalent DC circuit. Where all the passive elements are
remained in the circuit, but all the reactive elements such as: capacitors and inductors are removed.
Secondly, the AC analysis is performed on the equivalent AC circuit, which is the so called: the small-signal equivalent circuit.
The equivalent AC circuit is executed by removing all the DC sources and replacing transistors with the small-signal models.
