Tunneldiode
Udseende
En tunneldiode eller Esaki-diode er en diode som på en lille del af sin overføringsfunktion har en negativ differentiel modstand. Leo Esaki opdagede diodetypen i 1957, heraf navnet Esaki-diode. [2]
Forspændes en tunneldiode til at arbejde, hvor den har negativ modstandskarakteristik, vil den f.eks. kunne ophæve en svingningskreds tabsmodstand og derved forstærke, så resultatet er en tunneldiode oscillator[3][4], en superregenerative modtager - eller tunneldiode forstærker.[5][6]
