Homework, for those following along, was to build a bridge rectifier ... the rectified waveform I was met with a surprise. My full-wave rectified signal was only showing up as half-wave rectified ...

A classic analog application is the full-wave precision ... current mode output. Here’s how it works. The incoming AC waveform (a sinewave is shown) is scaled by R1 and routed by A1 to the Q1/Q2 ...

It consists of following sections: Precision half-wave rectifier Inverting summing amplifier The input voltage Vin is applied to one terminal of the summing amplifier along with resistor R3 and to the ...

Other attempts sometimes calculate percent ripple, which I consider a largely useless term because we tend to visualize the waveform ... for half-wave), and 0.7 is the complement of the rectifier ...
