Why am I getting this oscilloscope reading? (Half wave rectifier)
I’m trying to use a half wave rectifier with a capacitor filter and instead of getting a ripple voltage at the output it’s giving a signal that looks like white noise(pic below). Any ideas?
(a signal ...

Vdc in ripple factor
V_p(rect) is the rectified unfiltered peak voltage
V_r(pp) is the peak-to-peak voltage after filtering by a capacitor
Here is a picture:
V_r(pp) is given by the expression:
Which I have no problem ...

Rectifier ripple voltage formula
So I thought the ripple voltage was approximated by the formula
Vr,pp = Vp / fRC
for a half-wave rectifier, and Vp/2fRC for a full-wave.
Yet simulation shows ...
