The document describes two types of rectifiers used in a lab experiment. A half wave rectifier only allows one half of the input signal to pass producing a waveform that is above zero for half its cycle. A full wave rectifier allows both halves of the input signal to pass producing an output waveform that is above zero for its entire cycle except for some ripple.
