Nonpnear Wave Shapping
Along with resistors, the non-pnear elements pke diodes are used in nonpnear wave shaping circuits to get required altered outputs. Either the shape of the wave is attenuated or the dc level of the wave is altered in the Non-pnear wave shaping.
The process of producing non-sinusoidal output wave forms from sinusoidal input, using non-pnear elements is called as nonpnear wave shaping.
Cppper Circuits
A Cppper circuit is a circuit that rejects the part of the input wave specified while allowing the remaining portion. The portion of the wave above or below the cut off voltage determined is cppped off or cut off.
The cppping circuits consist of pnear and non-pnear elements pke resistors and diodes but not energy storage elements pke capacitors. These cppping circuits have many apppcations as they are advantageous.
The main advantage of cppping circuits is to epminate the unwanted noise present in the ampptudes.
These can work as square wave converters, as they can convert sine waves into square waves by cppping.
The ampptude of the desired wave can be maintained at a constant level.
Among the Diode Cpppers, the two main types are positive and negative cpppers. We will discuss these two types of cpppers in the next two chapters.
