NOTE:
S2 is closed so the circuit is DC coupled to the signal generator.
XFG1 is turned off
XFG2 is turned on and inputing a sine wave into the circuit.
The sine wave has a +10V offset so you will see in the oscilloscope output that it has a low of 0V and a high of 20V
My added clipping diodes on the circuit output line are disconnected from GND through S3 which is open.
QUESTION:
The output signal of the circuit has an indentical wave length to the input signal as expected.
The output signal of the circuit has smaller amplitude to the input signal as expected.
The output signal of the circuit has a smaller offset to the input signal as expected.
However the peaks of the output signal have been clipped by some other part of the circuit.
Can anyone tell me what part of the circuit that would be?
