  • Abstract
    A theoretical circuit model for the tunnel diode mounted in reduced-height waveguide is given. Standing-wave measurements on such diodes are described, and the parameters of the circuit model are deduced from these results. A comparison of the equivalent circuit with that found from similar measurements of tunnel diodes mounted in coaxial line shows that if the power/voltage basis is used to define the waveguide characteristic impedance, the relevant parameters from both sets of measurements are the same.
