  • Abstract
    Frequency and transient response equations for the current-transfer ratios of the double-base diode are calculated from theory and checked experimentally. To obtain these results, the device is operated as a small signal amplifier in the negative-resistance region and the frequency response characteristics thus obtained are used to predict the device behavior. The effects of carrier recombination and electric field upon the response characteristics are evaluated and experimental results are presented.
