    This document discusses half wave and full wave rectifiers. A half wave rectifier uses a single diode to conduct current during only the positive half cycle of the input AC signal, producing a pulsing DC output. A full wave rectifier uses two or four diodes in a configuration to conduct current during both half cycles, producing a less pulsing DC output that is more suitable for applications requiring a steady voltage. The full wave rectifier doubles the output frequency compared to the input frequency, while the half wave rectifier maintains the same frequency.

    Crystal Diode Rectifiers

     Rectifier: Rectifier is that circuit, that converts


    ac to dc.
     The following two types of rectifier circuit can
    be used:
    1. Half Wave rectifier
    2. Full Wave Rectifier
    Half Wave Rectifier
     The process of removing one-half the input signal to establish a dc level is
    called half-wave rectification.
     In Half wave rectification, the rectifier conducts current during positive half
    cycle of input ac signal only.
     Negative half cycle is suppressed.
    Half Wave Rectifier
     AC voltage across secondary terminals AB changes its polarity after each half
    cycle.
     During negative half cycle terminal A is negative so diode is reversed biased
    and conducts no current.
     So, current flows through diode during positive half cycle only.
     In this way current flows through load RL in one direction.
    Half Wave Rectifier

     Disadvantage of Half wave rectifier:


     The pulsating current in output contains ac components
    whose frequency is equal to supply frequency so filtering is
    needed.
     The ac supply delivers power during half cycle only so
    output is low.
    Half Wave Rectifier
    Output frequency of HWR:
     Output frequency of HWR is equal to input frequency.
     This means when input ac completes one cycle,
    rectified wave also completes one cycle.

    f out = f in
    Full Wave Rectifier
     In Full wave rectification current flow through the load in same
    direction for both half cycle of input ac.
     This can be achieved with two diodes working alternatively.
     For one half cycle one diode supplies current to load and for
    next half cycle another diode works.
    Center Tap Full Wave Rectifier
     Circuit has two diodes D1 , D2 and a center tap transformer.
     During positive half cycle Diode D1 conducts and during
    negative half cycle Diode D2 conducts.
     It can be seen that current through load RL is in the same
    direction for both cycle.
    Full Wave Bridge Rectifier

     Need for center tapped PT is eliminated.


     Consists of 4 diodes instead of 2.
    Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
     During period t=0 to t=T/2 D2 and D3 are conducting
    while D1 and D4 are in the “off” state.
    Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
     During period t=T/2 to t=T D1 and D4 are conducting while D2
    and D3 are in the “off” state.
    Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
     Over one full cycle the input and output voltages will appear as
    shown in Fig.
     V dc= 2*(0.318Vm)= 0.636Vm
    Full Wave Rectifier
     Output frequency of FWR:
     Output frequency of FWR is equal to
    double of input frequency.
     This means when input ac completes
    one cycle, rectified wave completes two cycle.

    f out = 2f in
