Data and ObservationClipper circuits have the ability to clip off a portion of the input signal without distorting the remaining part of the alternating waveform while clamper circuit can adjust the DC position of the waveform without knowing what the waveform actually is.ProcedureBefore we started the experiment, we first prepare the necessary tools and equipment to be used while doing the two circuits.In doing the clipper, we place two parallel diodes on the breadboard, and a resistor connected in series with the other diode. We also placed two sources, the input and the output.While in doing the clamper, we created two circuits, using polarized and non-polarized capacitor as the basis of the two. Using the non-polarized one, we connected a diode to the input source to create a series connection with the parallel connection of the non-polarized capacitor and the resistor and we also place an output source. The polarized one is just the same as the first one, the only difference is the use of the capacitor, which in this case, the polarized capacitor.

ConclusionClippers remove either the positive or the negative parts of a waveform, while clampers add a dc voltage offset to the input signal.
