Assumptions:: - Our System

Non-linear systems can exhibit behavior that is not directly proportional to inputs. This document discusses modeling non-linear systems and provides an example of a second-order non-linearity in a common-source stage circuit where the output voltage is not a linear function of the input voltage and depends on factors like transistor width, length, and threshold voltage.
