(PESC), 1986, pp. 186-200. This paper derived a complete exact small-signal model valid at all frequencies and showed that state-space averaged models are low-frequency approximations of the exact small-signal model.

This paper discussed aliasing in PWM converters, and how small-signal modeling beyond one half of the switching frequency should be viewed with caution.

This paper described how the process of deriving equivalent hold and exact small-signal models could be automated. It should be fairly easy to do this in MATLAB/Simulink environment.

This paper derived showed derivation of averaged DCM models where high-frequency poles and zeros are consistent with exact sampled-data models.
