In a real world circuit, a half-wave rectifier is typically produced by using a single diode. This effectively allows one polarity of signal to pass, but block the opposite polarity. When used for power supplies or signal recovery, the half-wave rectifier is very simple and cheap to implement, but is less efficient than a full-wave rectifier since half of the signal is blocked.
