Aim: To design half wave and Full wave Bridge rectifiers and analyze
their performance with in terms of ripple factor
THEORY: A half wave rectifier: Is defined as a type of rectifier that only allows one half-cycle of
an AC voltage waveform to pass, blocking the other half-cycle.
Half-wave rectifiers are used to convert AC voltage to DC voltage, and only require a single diode to
construct. When a standard AC waveform is passed through a half-wave rectifier, only half of the AC
waveform remains. Half-wave rectifiers only allow one half-cycle (positive or negative half-cycle) of
the AC voltage through and will block the other half-cycle on the DC side, as seen below.
