A tunnel diode discriminator

Lazaros Papadopoulos

Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

A low level discriminator is described, with a tunnel diode as an input stage. A portion of the current that biases the tunnel diode is driven to the output when the latter swings to higher potential points of its current-voltage characteristic. The system becomes monostable by use of a ramp stage.
