The correct answer is option 1):(clamper)

Concept:

Clamper circuit

  • A Clamper circuit can be defined as a circuit that consists of a diode, a resistor and a capacitor that shifts the waveform to the desired DC level without changing the actual appearance of the applied signal.
  • It consists of a resistor, a capacitor, a diode and a battery. A positive clamper is shown in fig.

  • A Clamping circuit restores the DC level. When a negative peak of the signal is raised above the zero level, then the signal is said to be positively clamped.
  • For a positive clamper circuit, the input and output are as shown below
