Since the input voltage contains a dc component with an ac signal superimposed,the diode current will also contain a dc component with an ac signal superimposed.Let us consider IDQ is the dc component of the voltage.For this situation we consider the ac component to be a comparatively small value.

The relationship between the diode current and diode voltage can be given by:

iDISevDVT=ISeVDQ+vdVT,where VDQ is the dc component of voltage and vd is the ac component.

We can write the above equation as:

iD=IS[eVDQVT][evdVT]              ....(*)

If the ac signal is small,then (v_d<<V_T),we can then expand the exponential function into a linear series, evdVT=1+vdVT      ...(!!!)</p>

Also lets us say,ISeIDQVT=IDQ

From (*) and (!!!), we get:

iD=IDQ(1+vdVT)=IDQ+IDQVTvd=IDQ+id

where iD is the ac component of the diode current.The relationship between components of diode voltage and current will be:

id=(IDQVT)vd=gdvd

where gd is the diffusion conductance

Also rd=1gd=VTIDQ

These are the diode equations and parameters.
