CONCLUSIONS

In our experiment, we utilized the rectifier

diodes to change over a sine wave into a square
wave. We saw that diodes can be utilized to
confine the plentifulness of the square wave
when they are arranged as limiters. By applying
an outside DC inclination to the diode, we had
the option to set the cicuit restricting point. We
saw that the two adjustments of the input
