  2. Full width at half maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_width_at_half_maximum

    In a distribution, full width at half maximum (FWHM) is the difference between the two values of the independent variable at which the dependent variable is equal to half of its maximum value. In other words, it is the width of a spectrum curve measured between those points on the y -axis which are half the maximum amplitude.

    = is the duty cycle, the ratio of the "pulse" time (when the function's value is not zero) to the full wave period. Most basic wave functions only achieve 0 for infinitely short instants, and can thus be considered as having τ = T , D = 1 {\displaystyle \tau =T,D=1} .

  4. Ripple (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripple_(electrical)

    Full-wave center-tapped rectifier with capacitor filter. Reducing ripple is only one of several principal considerations in power supply filter design. [nb 1] The filtering of ripple voltage is analogous to filtering other kinds of signals. However, in AC/DC power conversion as well as DC power generation, high voltages and currents or both may ...

  5. Rectifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rectifier

    A full-wave rectifier converts the whole of the input waveform to one of constant polarity (positive or negative) at its output. Mathematically, this corresponds to the absolute value function. Full-wave rectification converts both polarities of the input waveform to pulsating DC (direct current), and yields a higher average output voltage.

  6. Voltage multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_multiplier

    For 240 V operation, the switch configures the system as a full-wave bridge, re-connecting the capacitor center-tap wire to the open AC terminal of a bridge rectifier system. This allows 120 or 240 V operation with the addition of a simple SPDT switch. A voltage tripler is a three-stage voltage multiplier.

  7. Pulsed DC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_DC

    Pulsed DC is commonly produced from AC (alternating current) by a half-wave rectifier or a full-wave rectifier. Full wave rectified ac is more commonly known as Rectified AC. PDC has some characteristics of both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) waveforms. The voltage of a DC wave is roughly constant, whereas the voltage of an AC ...

  8. Loop antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_antenna

    The full wave loop (left) emits maximum power broadside to the wires with nulls off the sides, the small loop (right) emits maximum power in the plane of its wires with nulls broadside to the wires. Surprisingly, the radiation and receiving pattern of a small loop is perpendicular to that of a large self resonant loop (whose perimeter is close ...

  9. Computational electromagnetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_electromagnetics

    The partial element equivalent circuit (PEEC) is a 3D full-wave modeling method suitable for combined electromagnetic and circuit analysis. Unlike MoM, PEEC is a full spectrum method valid from dc to the maximum frequency determined by the meshing.
