Assignment:
In the diode shown, the diodes are ideal except that each is modeled by a voltage source of 0.5V in series with a (diode) resistance of rd = 20, when forward biased. A sinusoidal signal Vs with input impedance Rs=100 is connected to the diode circuit. Determine the maximum value of Vs such that Vo remains sinusoidal, with no distortion. Also, find the amplitude of the output signal Vo.
Show how you arrived at your solution.
Maximum value Vs(t)
a. Vs(t) = -5cos(wt)
b. Vs(t) = +5cos(wt)
c. Vs(t) = -5sin(wt)
d. Vs(t) = +9sin(wt)
Amplitude of the output signal Vo.
a. vo(t) = 0.3cos(wt)
b. vo(t) = 0.3sin(wt)
c. vo(t) = 3.33cos(wt)
d. vo(t) = 5.0sin(wt)
