    This experiment investigates the applications of junction diodes in rectifier, clipper, and clamper circuits. Specifically, it demonstrates: 1) A half-wave and full-wave rectifier circuit that converts alternating current to pulsing direct current. 2) A clipper circuit that clips portions of an input waveform above or below a certain threshold. 3) A clamper circuit that limits a signal to a specific range by clamping portions of the signal above or below a set point.
