Design of an Indegenised Negative Resistance Characteristics Curve Tracer
Abstract
“Negative Resistance” exhibited by a device during some portion of its V-I characteristics produces jump phenomenon, hysteresis and oscillation in the tracing circuitry. A method is presented to overcome the above problems in tracing the negative resistance characteristics of 2-terminal and 3-terminal devices by an indeginised curve plotter.
