20A complete tunnel diode transmitter is compared in size with a
50-cent piece. ‘The transmitter consists of one variable and two
fixed ceramic capacitors, a coil that tunes to the operating
frequency — which may be higher than one kilomegacycle per
second — and the tunnel diode itself, located inside the "can" in
the center of the device. Progress in development of new devices
using tunnel diodes, and new scientific understanding of the diode
itself, was reported by the General Electric Research Laboratory
on July 23, 1959,
