Abstract
A single-ended input full wave rectifier circuit is disclosed comprising a complementary common emitter amplifier configuration. An input signal comprising complementary pulses, such as a sine wave, causes conduction alternately in the collector circuits of the complementary transistors. One collector output voltage signal is inverted and applied across a load resistor across which the other alternately occurring collector output also is applied. The circuit output taken across the resistor is a series of same-going pulses constituting a full wave rectified version of the circuit input.
