Measure the resistor value using digital multimeter and construct the half-wave rectifier

circuit as shown in Figure 1 using the diode and the resistor 'R' provided.

The input signal Vin will be coming from the function generator that will be set to output a

sine wave with 5 Vpp amplitude and a frequency of 30 Hz with no offset. Show the input and

output signals at the oscilloscope, the input (from the function generator) is connected to

channel A, and channel B of the oscilloscope is connected to the output. Adjust the oscilloscope

screen, save and record the oscilloscope display.

Comment on the result and to what extent the results match your predictions.

Calculate the diode Voltage Vd

•

Compare between the input and the output signal.

• What is the circuit application and the advantage and disadvantage?

Now, set the input signal amplitude to 0.5 Vpp and record the oscilloscope display.

• Comment on the result by comparing it to the previous result.
