The exact solutions of Schrodinger equation are obtained within the model of position-dependent electron effective mass and potential energy, which linearly  depends on coordinate in near-interface region between the wells and barriers of open symmetrical double-barrier resonant tunneling structure. The transmitting coefficient of nanostructure with In0.53Ga0.47As wells and In0.52Al0.48As barriers, the resonance energies and resonance widths of electron quasi-stationary states are calculated using these solutions. The influence of the sizes of near-interface regions on the spectral parameters of electron quasi0stationary states is studied. The obtained dependences are compared with the results of the most spread model of electron effective mass and potential, which are the step-like functions of coordinate being abrupt at the interfaces of nanostructure.
