Small signal modelling is an analysis method used in electrical engineering to describe nonlinear devices in terms of linear devices.

Motivation

Electronic circuits generally involve small time-varying signals carried over a constant [bias]. This suggests using an method akin to approximation by differentials to analyze relatively small perturbations about the bias point.
