Analysis of a Half-Wave Rectifier Circuit Involving Inductance, Resistance, and Capacity

Abstract

A description of an approximate solution of the half-wave rectifier circuit problem discussed in Radiation Laboratory Report T-12 is given. Design curves for choosing optimum values of rectifier constants are given. The exact solution is involved, inasmuch as it contains the circuit constants in complicated expressions; the approximate analysis presented here contains the circuit constants in a simplified form. Several less complete analyses of this circuit have been made, but their results do not agree with experiment. The curves in this report agree closely with results of experiments made at Radiation Laboratory.
