CLIPPERS<br />

Clipper has the ability to “clip” clip off a portion of the input signal without distorting the<br />

remaining part of the alternating waveform. <strong>Half</strong>-wave rectifier is an example of the<br />

simplest form of diode clipper ; one resistor and one diode.<br />

Depending on the orientation of the diode, the +ve and –ve region of the input signal is<br />

“clipped” off.<br />
