  • Abstract
    General expressions have been derived for the impedance of rectangular and circular Esaki diodes which take account of the distributed nature of diodes with large-junction area. These expressions have been used to calculate the diode dimensions for which self-supporting internal oscillations can occur. Simple expressions have been derived for the series-parasitic impedance of diodes with smaller transverse dimensions.
