Question

What do you think is the main disadvantage of clipper circuit over clamper circuit?

Answer 1

Typical projects of electronics operate at different electrical signal ranges and therefore, for these electronic circuits, it is intended to maintain the signals in a particular range in order to obtain the desired outputs. To receive the output at expected voltage levels, we have versatile tools in the electrical domain and those are called Clippers and Clampers. This article shows a clear description of clippers and clampers, their differences, and how they operate as per the expected voltage levels.

 Clippers and Clampers in electronics are widely used in the operation of analog television receivers and FM transmitters. The variable-frequency interference can be removed by using the clamping method in television receivers, and in FM transmitters, the noise peaks are limited to a specific value, above which the excessive peaks can be removed by using the clipping method.
