### Signal analysis
1. Analyse DC signals
- assume blocking capacitors are open circuits
- turn off AC sources
2. Analyse AC signals
- assume blocking capacitors are shorts
- turn off DC sources
- replace diode with effective resistor (the differential resistor)
!!! tip
Most $R$s in the circuit can be assumed to be significantly greater than $r_d$, so $r_d$ can be removed in series or $R$ can be removed in parallel.
!!! warning
Oftentimes, turning off a DC source to nowhere is actually a short to ground.
