"The Double Diode Bridge" Help please! :)

Hello.
I was wondering if anyone out there has any information at all about the Double Diode Bridge cct.

I have searched high and low all over the net and have only managed to come up with a little bit about the "Dual Schottky Diode Bridge", which is a fair bit different.

I am basiclly after theory, maybe including some diagrams and a few formule.

If someone could redirect me to a link that has these or, even explain it them selves it would be Greatly appriciated.

Thankyou

Suggestion: Please, would you clarify the "Double Diode Bridge" Circuit; especially, in which context it is posed? This terminology is something what is rarely used and ambiguous.

 

Sorry. i am just after the basics, waveforms of output, currents, U(o), stuff like that, mainly theory to do with this type of cct.
And also some information where it might be used?

Thankyou

Suggestions: One might possibly start with double diodes

for more info.

 

diodes are unidirectional current devices which means that curent can only travel in one direction through them.
you may be referring to a bridge rectifier, in which case the input could be a sine wave and the output prior to filtering would be a half sine.

where they refer to the "double diode" as to two diodes in series.
