  • Abstract
    The effect of the finite current multiplication factor in the avalanche zone on the impedance of a Read diode has been investigated. The magnitude of the negative resistance has been found to decrease with the lowering of the multiplication factor M while the reactance does not appreciably change. The avalanche and resonant frequencies become different when M becomes finite and are markedly dependent on it.
