An ideal clipper is formed by connecting two oppositely oriented diodes with reference sources such that the output is limited to +2 V and -3 V. If the input is a sine wave with peak 10 V, what fraction of the waveform remains unclipped around zero crossing?

The portion between -3 V and +2 V

In a clipper circuit, a sinusoidal input v_i = 8 sin(ωt) V is applied to an ideal two-sided limiter with clipping levels at +6 V and -2 V. Which statement about the output is correct?

Both positive and negative peaks are clipped, but by different amounts

Trap of the day

The matched filter maximises SNR, not signal fidelity — its impulse response is the time-reversed signal, not the signal itself.
