The current spectral density and the Fano factor of a resonant diode are investigated as a function of frequency up to values just below the inverse of the transit time. We consider the case of coherent tunneling for a symmetric double barrier structure at voltages up to the first current peak at 77 K. At high frequencies the Fano factor is found to become suppressed systematically at a value of 0.25 independently of frequency. This suppression below 0.5 is an indication of coherent against sequential tunneling transport.
