Figure 1 This Cockcroft-Walton full wave multiplier is shown at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute in 1937. 3 MV could be generated by two 4-stage multipliers. Note the three people standing in the ...

When the full-wave rectified quadrature signals are summed, the result is an approximate (roughly +/- 3% nonlinearity) triangular waveshape at double the frequency of the sine, with amplitude ...
