Tunnel diode:
Tunnel diode has very high doped P-N junction. it has negative resistance.
Equivalent circuit diagram of tunnel diode is:
where R is negative resistance of tunnel diode.
Rs is resistance of bulk material and contacting plates.
C is junction capacitance
L is parasitic series inductance
To define practical frequency range of a tunnel diode,resistive and reactive cutoff frequency are considered.
Resistive cut off frequency : It is calculated when real part of input impedance is equated to zero.
fr = \(\frac{1}{2\pi R\ C_j}\) \(\sqrt{\frac{R}{R_S}\ -\ 1}\)
Reactive cut off frequency : It is calculated when imaginary part of input impedance is equated to zero.
fx = \(\frac{1}{2\pi}\) \(\sqrt{\frac{1}{LC_j}\ -\frac{1}{{(RC_j)}^2}}\)
so option 2 is correct.
