Abstract :
Given the complete linear equivalent circuit of a tunnel diode, a new sufficient condition is presented for the diode to be "potentially stable," where the diode is "potentially stable" if all open circuit natural frequencies can be shifted to the left half of the complex frequency plane, by properly imbedding the tunnel diode in a two terminal passive network.
