How to define separate file for all acronyms in latex?

Currently I am defining acronys at the start of each chapter. I want to make a separate file for all acronyms.

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]
\include{ch1}
\include{ch2}
\end{document}


\chapter{ch1}
\acrfull{WLAN} is used as a trial for my example and problem

\newacronym{WLAN}{WLAN}{Wireless Local Area Network}

\chapter{ch2}
\acrfull{LAN} is used as a trial for my example and problem

\newacronym{LAN}{LAN}{Local Area Network}

How can I make all the acronyms in a separate file lets say acronyms.tex? And how to call them in the main file?

You can have them in a separate file like this:

\documentclass{scrbook}
\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}
\makeglossaries

\input{acronyms}

\begin{document}
\mainmatter
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]

\chapter{ch1}
\acrfull{WLAN} is used as a trial for my example and problem

\chapter{ch2}
\acrfull{LAN} is used as a trial for my example and problem

\end{document}

with acronyms.tex:

\newacronym{WLAN}{WLAN}{Wireless Local Area Network}
\newacronym{LAN}{LAN}{Local Area Network}
