Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
There are other diodes that have negative resistance regions, such as the Gunn, with characteristics similar to TDs, but used pretty much only for microwave oscillators, and the DIAC (if you count

Wanted: Attenuator assembly for HP606B.
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has the attenuator assembly for an HP606B. I understand that one can use an HP 355 outboard of the generator but I'd prefer to have the assembly to restore my unit to

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
It's simple, transistors got a lot faster. If the basic circuit is fast enough, you don't need any such compensation. PIN diodes are inherently slow devices, so their applications are completely

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
The important characteristic of a tunnel diode is it's negative resistance region. This provides a switch action that can snap on far faster than anything else available at the time. Tunnel diodes are

Re: Tunnel Diode Questions
A tunnel diode is a low power high frequency negative resistance device. They were used at a time in the late 50s and early 60s before silicon planar devices became readily availably to produce

For tunnel diod lovers :-)
For tunnel diode and GR lovers, I just scanned what I consider a gem: the manual of GR 1167-B 500 MHz scaler. I bought it with a pristine GR 1192 counter and all the original manuals at

Tunnel Diode Questions
It is obvious that HP and Tektronix designers had a great fondness for the tunnel diode. You can find them incorporated into lots of scopes and other test equipment. Now that tunnel diodes are not

Re: Help! 3310B schematics
Most of the time the problem is with that air variable cap on one of the boards shorting out. Please check to see that it is performing in the circuit per the schematic.... It adjusts the sine wave
