At one time they used to introduce undergrad students to amplification with two-terminal devices such as varactors and tunnel diodes.
12.
Like the tunnel diode, the negative resistance aspect of the lambda diode lends itself naturally to application in oscillator circuits and amplifiers.
13.
This effect is not only well demonstrated; it is the basis of tunnel diodes and similar devices vital to modern electronic systems.
14.
Theres's nothing to stop you going to the library and getting out an old textbook that covers tunnel diodes and varactors though.
15.
Robert Noyce independently came up with the idea of a tunnel diode while working for William Shockley, but was discouraged from pursuing it.

18.
Moreover, in a tunnel diode the current reaches a minimum of about 20 % of the peak current before rising again towards higher voltages.
19.
Low-power microwave sources use solid-state devices such as the field-effect transistor ( at least at lower frequencies ), tunnel diodes, Gunn diodes, and IMPATT diodes.
20.
A reflection coefficient with a magnitude greater than unity, such as in a tunnel diode amplifier, will result in a negative value for this expression.
