This section highlights the importance of an accurate pre-determined DC compact model.\cite{dc!!!}
For compact model developers, extraction of the DC parameters always needs to be carried out before the extraction of AC ones.

From the device-level perspectives,
a set of equations which describe the terminal characteristics of DUT are written in a compact model.

Because the AC model is origined from the linearization of the DC model at an indicated operating point.
Accordingly, accuracy is highly required in DC characterization because of its piority in the procedure of parameter extraction .

Circuit analysis refers to solving a circuit with KVL and KCL.
To be more specific, it means solving out nodes voltages and branches currents of each element in a circuit.
As the source of stimulus can be systematically separated into DC sources and AC sources,
the unknown/solutions of the circuit are also separated into DC part and AC part.
Analyzing a circuit is treated in two independent meansA)DC analysis (B)AC analysis

DC analysis is being carried out before AC analysis.
DC analysis determines the Q-point, including each node voltage and branch current.
AC analysis gives the frequency response, including bandwidth and gain.

This is to construct a linear small-signal model for the nonlinear component.

It has to do with the present of an active component in the circuit.

The employment of active elements, like transistors, make the circuit a nonlinear algebra system.

The equivalent AC circuit is executed by removing all the DC sources and replacing transistors with the small-signal models.
