Definition of "Half Wave Rectifier" |
A rectifier with only one diode in series with the load. The output is a half-wave rectified voltage with the other half wave being at zero voltage. / A rectifier with only one diode in series with the load. The output is a half wave rectified voltage with the other half wave being at zero voltage. |
Definition of "Half-Wave Rectifier" |
A rectifier using only one-half of each cycle to change ac to pulsating dc. The direction of the diode or the winding of the transformer selects the polarity of the output across the load. Resistor Rs is not required but is used to limit the current through the diode. Refer to the Half-Wave Rectifier Circuit detail. / (1) a device that passes positive polarity portions of a signal and blocks negative polarity portions of an AC signal. Ideally, for a sinusoidal input |
