täysiaaltoisia

Täysiaaltoisia is a Finnish term that translates to "full-wave" or "all-wave" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of electronics and radio technology to describe a type of rectifier or receiver.

A full-wave rectifier is an electronic circuit that converts alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC) by utilizing both the positive and negative halves of the AC input waveform. This results in a more continuous and efficient DC output compared to a half-wave rectifier, which only uses one half of the waveform. Full-wave rectifiers are essential components in many power supply circuits.

In the realm of radio receivers, "täysiaaltoisia" can refer to a receiver capable of tuning across a wide range of frequencies, encompassing multiple or all standard radio broadcast bands. Such receivers are designed to pick up signals from various sources, including AM (Amplitude Modulation), FM (Frequency Modulation), and sometimes shortwave bands. This broad coverage makes them versatile for listening to different types of radio broadcasts and from distant locations. The term emphasizes the receiver's ability to capture signals across the entire spectrum of interest.
