Since wireless radio transmissions were first achieved in the 1880s, telecommunications have evolved to the point where instant global communication is a daily reality, currently contributing more ...

This lab seeks to illustrate the fundamental operation of uncontrolled rectifier circuits. The waveforms associated with these circuits are visualized using simulation and experimentation. The circuit ...

The more common approach to manipulate the incoming AC wave so that both halves are used to cause output current to flow in the same direction is the use of full-wave rectifiers. A full-wave rectifier ...

A full-wave rectifier that exploits the fact that the output voltage of certain single- supply op amps is effectively “clamped” to ground is described. It’s important that the op amp you select be ...

When Electronic Design asked me to write about my Idea for Design, first seen in this year’s August 13 issue, it seemed a simple enough task. We’re all familiar with design. Most of us do it in some ...
