1 Overview of the experiment

1.1 Aim of the experiment
To perform NGSpice simulations on the OpAmp circuits to build Half-wave
and Full-wave rectifier circuit

1.2 Methods
1.2.1 Half Wave Precision Rectifier
Analyzing the two Rectifier circuits (A & B) where one part (B) have both
diodes inverted, with a sinusoidal input of amplitude 5V and 1KHz frequency.

1.2.2 Full Wave Precision Rectifier

Analyzing the rectifier circuit (B) which is now clubed with an inverting
OpAmp and here we will be using circuit(B) as a subcircuit.
