Abstract :
A new Double Barrier Resonant Tunnel diode large-signal model suitable for SPICE simulation is presented in this paper. The model is based on the device I/V characteristic and can be successfully applied to simulating microwave applications such as oscillators, self-oscillating mixers, frequency multipliers, etc. The associated parameters required in this new model can be easily extracted from measured I/V curves
