Wave Rectifier With Tunnel Diode

MediumPython

Problem

Question: Draw a full wave rectifier. What happens if we use tunnel diode instead of normal pn junction diode in this circuit?

Implement full_wave_rectifier(samples, diode_type) to simulate the rectified output. Return one rounded voltage per input sample. For pn, output max(0, abs(v) - 0.7). For tunnel, use the specified piecewise tunnel-diode model in the solution and preserve input order.

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(samples) <= 1000
  • -1000000.0 <= samples[i] <= 1000000.0
  • diode_type is either "pn" or "tunnel"
  • Return values must be rounded to six decimal places
