2. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   While half-wave and full-wave rectification deliver unidirectional current, neither produces a constant voltage. There is a large AC ripple voltage component at the source frequency for a half-wave rectifier, and twice the source frequency for a full-wave rectifier. Ripple voltage is usually specified peak-to-peak.

3. Pulsed DC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_DC

   Pulsed DC is commonly produced from AC (alternating current) by a half-wave rectifier or a full-wave rectifier. Full wave rectified ac is more commonly known as Rectified AC. PDC has some characteristics of both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) waveforms. The voltage of a DC wave is roughly constant, whereas the voltage of an AC ...

4. Frequency multiplier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_multiplier

   A full wave rectifier, for example, is good for making a doubler. To produce a times-3 multiplier, the original signal may be input to an amplifier that is over driven to produce nearly a square wave. This signal is high in 3rd order harmonics and can be filtered to produce the desired x3 outcome.

5. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

   The characteristics and components of ripple depend on its source: there is single-phase half- and full-wave rectification, and three-phase half- and full-wave rectification. Rectification can be controlled (uses Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs)) or uncontrolled (uses diodes). There is in addition, active rectification which uses transistors.

6. Envelope detector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Envelope_detector

   Between the circuit's input and output is a diode that performs half-wave rectification, allowing substantial current flow only when the input voltage is around a diode drop higher than the output terminal. The output is connected to a capacitor of value and resistor of value in parallel to ground. The capacitor is charged as the input voltage ...

7. Tube sound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_sound

   The typical anode supply was a rectifier, perhaps half-wave, a choke and a filter capacitor. When the tube amplifier was operated at high volume, due to the high impedance of the rectifier tubes, the power supply voltage would dip as the amplifier drew more current (assuming class AB), reducing power output and causing signal modulation.

8. Harmonics (electrical power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonics_(electrical_power)

   In many non-linear loads such as inverters, AC voltage controllers and cycloconverters, the output voltage(s) waveform(s) usually has half-wave symmetry and so it only contains odd harmonics. The fundamental component is an odd harmonic, since when k = 1 {\displaystyle k=1} , the above formula yields h = 1 {\displaystyle h=1} , which is the ...

9. Active rectification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_rectification

   Active full-wave rectification with two MOSFETs and a center tap transformer. Replacing a diode with an actively controlled switching element such as a MOSFET is the heart of active rectification. MOSFETs have a constant very low resistance when conducting, known as on-resistance (R DS(on)). They can be made with an on-resistance as low as 10 ...
