What is intrinsic stand-off ratio in UJT firing circuit?

For a unijunction transistor, the resistive ratio of RB1 to RBB is called the intrinsic stand-off ratio and is given the Greek symbol: η (eta). Typical standard values of η range from 0.5 to 0.8 for most common UJT’s.

If a small positive input voltage which is less than the voltage developed across resistance, RB1 ( ηVBB ) is now applied to the Emitter input terminal, the diode p-n junction is reverse biased, thus offering a very high impedance and the device does not conduct. The UJT is switched “OFF” and zero current flows.
