Gunn Diodes are named after a researcher J. B. Gunn from an IBM, he discovered that the materials form group (III-V) of predict table such as Gallium arsenide (GaAs), and Indium Phosphide (InP), when applied voltage increases up to the certain value the mobility of electrons in these materials decreases, thereby producing negative differential resistance region. A diode made up of these materials can generate microwaves frequencies.

welcome to this article, In this article, we are going to learn about FULL WAVE RECTIFIER- Center-Tapped and Bridge Rectifier as we Learned about Half-wave rectifiers previously.
PN junction Diode plays a vital role in our electronic fields, because of their unique property (current flows in only one direction) they are used in many electronic or electrical circuits like rectifiers, switches, clippers, clampers, voltage multipliers.
A major difference between Diode and Zener Diode is that a PN junction diode can operate in forward bias only whereas a Zener Diode can operate in Forward bias as well as in reverse bias. There are a number of differences between a normal diode and a Zener diode and in this article, we will cover them one by one.
This article is based on the diode clamper circuit, working of positive and negative clamper circuits and the applications of clamper circuits using different waveforms and circuit.
