# posRectifier

An ideal positive polarity half-wave rectifier.

### Syntax

none - object only

### Usage

To simulate a half-wave rectifier.

### Location

menu: veeos ==> Signal processing ==> Devices ==>negRectifier

library: sigLib

### Example

### Notes

In a real world circuit, a half-wave rectifier is typically produced by using a single diode. This effectively allows one polarity of signal to pass, but block the opposite polarity. When used for power supplies or signal recovery, the half-wave rectifier is very simple and cheap to implement, but is less efficient than a full-wave rectifier since half of the signal is blocked.
