  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. Electromyography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyography

    Two types of rectification are used: full-wave and half-wave rectification. [27] Full-wave rectification adds the EMG signal below the baseline to the signal above the baseline to make a conditioned signal that is all positive. If the baseline is zero, this is equivalent to taking the absolute value of the signal.

  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. 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 ...

  7. 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 ...

    The difference between the revenue from selling a unit of electricity and the cost of the fuel used to make it. spark-gap transmitter A former type of radio transmitter that generated radio frequency current by exciting resonance of a tuned system with an electric spark, used almost entirely for transmission of Morse code. spectrum analyzer

  9. 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.
