Wave Shaping and Multivibrator Circuits

WAVE SHAPING AND MULTIVIBRATOR CIRCUITS

Linear wave shaping :Process by which the shape of a non sinusoidal signal is changed by passing the signal through the network consisting of linear elements Diodes can be used in wave shaping circuits.

ü   Either limit or clip signal portion--- clipper

ü   shift the dc voltage level of the signal --- clampers

Types of non sinusoidal input

ü   Step

ü   pulse

ü   square

ü   Ramp input
