Abstract
Multilayer resonant tunnelling diodes with asymmetric current-voltage characteristics and the first measurements of such devices as microwave detectors are reported. Their performance is compared with that of conventional detectors in terms of the transfer function and its temperature dependence. In particular a variation of output voltage as low as +or-0.3 dB over -40 degrees C to +80 degrees C was found.
