Ideal Biased Clipper 305
We will select a standard value of 1.0 microfarad for our circuit.
The completed schematic of our shunt-clipper design is shown in Figure
7.11. The actual performance of the circuit is indicated by the oscilloscope displays
in Figure 7.12, and the actual circuit performance is compared with the original
design goals in Table 7.2.
