2. Rectifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

   The AC input (yellow) and DC output (green) of a half-wave rectifier with a smoothing capacitor. Note the ripple in the DC signal. The significant gap (about 0.7V) between the peak of the AC input and the peak of the DC output is due to the forward voltage drop of the rectifier diode.

3. Voltage doubler - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_doubler

   Figure 2.Greinacher circuit. The Greinacher voltage doubler is a significant improvement over the Villard circuit for a small cost in additional components. The ripple is much reduced, nominally zero under open-circuit load conditions, but when current is being drawn depends on the resistance of the load and the value of the capacitors used.

4. 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.

5. 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 ...

6. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

   Reservoir capacitors are used in power supplies where they smooth the output of a full or half wave rectifier. They can also be used in charge pump circuits as the energy storage element in the generation of higher voltages than the input voltage.

7. 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 ...
