A full wave rectifier converts both halves of the AC input waveform to produce a full wave rectified output that is always of the same polarity. It uses a center-tapped transformer with two diodes in a bridge configuration to rectify both the positive and negative halves of the input AC signal. This doubles the output voltage for the same peak input voltage compared to a half wave rectifier.
