Lab 1 Diode Applications PDF

This document is a lab manual for a second year computer engineering electronics lab. It describes two experiments involving diode applications - a half-wave rectifier circuit and a full-wave rectifier circuit. The first experiment examines the effect of a reservoir capacitor on a half-wave rectified sinusoidal waveform. The second experiment examines full-wave rectification and the effect of a smoothing capacitor on the full-wave rectified output waveform. Both experiments involve observing input and output waveforms on an oscilloscope.
