This document discusses two types of rectifiers. A half bridge rectifier allows current to flow through a load in one direction only using two diodes. A full wave rectifier uses four diodes to allow current to flow through the load in both half cycles of the input signal, producing a less rippled DC output compared to the half bridge rectifier.
