Positive half wave (directions current shows in figure 2.

1) In this time, terminals of diodes are connected as following: D1: Anode connect to negative pole (-) Cathode connect to positive pole (+). Inversely: D2: Anode connect to positive pole (+) Cathode connect nagative pole (-). Therefore: Diodes: D1: Reverse bias D2: Forward bias Hence, the current passing D2 in the loop (figure 1). Uout U2 /2 UD2 Uout-average 22Uin/ PIVD2 U2 Negative half wave (directions current shows in figure 2.2) In this time, terminals of diodes are connected as following: D2: Anode connect to negative pole (-) Cathode connect positive pole ( + ). Inversely: D1: Anode connect to positive pole (-) Cathode connect to negative pole (+). Therefore: Diodes: D2: Reverse bias D1: Forward bias Thus, the current passing D1 in the loop (figure 2.3) Uout U2 /2 UD1
