Abstract :
The following basic theorem is proved: Theorem: Necessary and sufficient conditions for the physical realizability of a short-circuit admittance matrix Y of an n port obtained by imbedding an Esaki (tunnel) diode in a reciprocal lossless network are: 1) - Y(-p) is a positive-real matrix with either a pole or a zero at infinity. 2) [Ev Y] is of rank one or less. 3) (A_1^{kk} A_2 - p^2 B_1^{kk}B_2)^{1/2} is a polynomial which is even or odd as the degree of D is even or odd. 4) The sum of the poles (P) does not exceed the reciprocal time constant (l/T) of the diode. 5) The ratio of P and 1/T does not exceed the ratio of the determinants of Y^q and Y_{sc}^q at p = \\infty for all q , or PT \\leq {det. Y^q \\over det. Y_{sc}^q} \\Bigg{\\vert}_{p = \\infty}, \\hbox{ } q = 1,2,\\cdots ,n; where Ev implies the "even part of," each element of matrix Y is defined as Y_{ik}= {N_{ik} \\over D} = {pB_1^{ik} - A_1^{ik} \\over A_2 - pB_2} with polynomials A_2, B_2, A_1^{ik}, B_1^{ik} being even or odd as the degree of D is even or odd. The martix Y_{sc} is the admittance matrix obtained by short circuiting the diode. The superscript q represents all possible combinations of q accessible ports (the rest are short circuited).
