PRE LAB QUESTIONS
1. What are the differences between linear and nonlinear wave shaping circuit?
The linear circuit is an electric circuit and the parameters of this circuit
are resistance, capacitance, inductance and etc are constant.The non-linear
circuit is also an electric circuit and the parameters of this circuit differ with
respect to the current and the voltage.
2. What are the applications of wave shaping circuit?
→ To hold the waveform to a particular d.c. level.
→To generate one wave form the other.
→To limit the voltage level of the waveform of some presenting value and
suppressing all other voltage levels in excess of the present level.
3. What is wave shaping?
Electronic circuits used to create or modify specified time-varying electrical
voltage or current waveforms using combinations of active electronic devices,
such as transistors or analog or digital integrated circuits, and resistors,
capacitors, and inductors.
4. What is the necessity of wave shaping?
To generate one wave from the other.
5. Mention the application of clipper and clamper.
They are frequently used for the separation of synchronizing signals from the
composite picture signals. The excessive noise spikes above a certain level can be limited
or clipped in FM transmitters by using the series clippers.

Theory
The non-linear semiconductor diode in combination with resistor can function as clipper
circuit. Energy storage circuit components are not required in the basic process of clipping. These
circuits will select part of an arbitrary waveform which lies above or below some particular
reference voltage level and that selected part of the waveform is used for transmission. So they are
referred as voltage limiters, current limiters, amplitude selectors or slicers. There are three different
types of clipping circuits.
1) Positive Clipping circuit.
2) Negative Clipping.
3) Positive and Negative Clipping (slicer).
In positive clipping circuit positive cycle of Sinusoidal signal is clipped and negative
portion of sinusoidal signal is obtained in the output of reference voltage is added, instead of
complete positive cycle that portion of the positive cycle which is above the reference voltage value
is clipped. In negative clipping circuit instead of positive portion of sinusoidal signal, negative
portion is clipped. In slicer both positive and negative portions of the sinusoidal signal are clipped.
Procedure
1. Connect the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.

2. Connect the function generator at the input terminals and CRO at the output terminals of the
circuit.
3. Apply a sine wave signal of frequency 1 KHz, Amplitude greater than the reference voltage at
the input and observe the output waveforms of the circuits.

Result
To study the clipping circuits for different reference voltages and to verify the responses
has been done completely without any failure.
POST LAB QUESTIONS
1. Differentiate +ve and -ve Clippers.
The major difference between clipper and clamper is that clipper is a limiting
circuit which limits the output voltage while clamper is a circuit which shifts the
DC level of output voltage
2. What is the function of Clampers?
A clamper is an electronic circuit that fixes either the positive or the negative
peak excursions of a signal to a defined value by shifting its DC value
3. Write the classifications of clippers and clampers. → Series Positive Clipper.
→ Series Negative Clipper.
→ Shunt Positive Clipper.
→ Shunt Negative Clipper.
→ Series Positive Clipper with Positive Bias Voltage
→ Series Positive Clipper with Positive Bias Voltage Connected in Series
→ Series Positive Clipper with Negative Bias Voltage 4.
