The process of converting alternating current into a unidirectional current, by removing or inverting that part of the wave laying on one side of the zero amplitude axis. There are two general types of retificitaion processes, half-wave and full-wave.
rectifier that converts the negative half wave of an alternating current into a positive half wave
a circuit that converts both half-cycles of the AC voltage waveform to an unbroken series of voltage pulses of the same polarity
a device that has two or more diodes arranged so that load current flows in the same direction during each half cycle of the ac supply
A diode network that transforms an AC source into a full-wave DC source.
Rectifier circuit that rectifies both halves of an ac wave .
A circuit that converts an alternating sine wave into a pulsating dc consisting of both halves of a sine wave for each input cycle.
A circuit that uses both positive and negative alternations in an alternating current to produce direct current.
