Answer 1

Answer:

Clipper

Explanation:

Clipper Circuit controls the shape of the waveform by removing or clipping off an unwanted portion.

Answer 2

A circuit that removes positive or negative parts of a waveform is called a Clipper.

• In electronics, a clipper is a circuit used to prevent a signal from exceeding a predetermined reference voltage level. The clip does not distort the rest of the waveform used. Attachment circuits are used to select, for transmission purposes, that part of the signal waveform above or below the predetermined reference voltage level.
• Haircuts can be achieved at one or two levels. The attachment circuit can remove certain parts of the negative waveform near the positive or negative peaks or both. Clipping alters the waveform structure and alters its spectral components.
