An Analysis of Transients in Tunnel-diode Circuits


Book Description

An analysis is performed for the transient reponse of a tunnel-diode modeled by a circuit of two capacities, an inductor, and the dc i-v characteristic of the diode. The nonlinear differential equations of the transition are solved numerically, and waveforms are presented for a wide range of circuit parameters.






















Tunnel Diode Circuit Analysis


Book Description

Graphical and graphico-analytic methods were applied to the most common tunnel diode circuit configurations. The isocline method and a useful generalization of the Lienard Method were developed and applied, solutions and stability criteria were obtained by singular point analysis, and methods using linearized characteristics or simple graphical operations were applied.
