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:
iD≈ISevDVT=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+IDQVT⋅vd=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=gd⋅vd
where gd is the diffusion conductance
Also rd=1gd=VTIDQ
These are the diode equations and parameters.
