Modelling of an Esaki Tunnel Diode in a Circuit Simulator

A method for circuit-level modelling a physically realistic Esaki tunnel diode model is presented. A paramaterisation technique that transforms the strongly nonlinear characteristic of a tunnel diode into two relatively modest nonlinear characteristics is demonstrated. The introduction of an interme...
