    Half freqency diode
    For a half wave rectifier output signal's frequency is same as that of input.for a half wave rectifier it is DOUBLE that of input.can anyone tell me about a circuit that will make the output frequency HALF OF THE INPUT.use of diode(s) is must.

    Yes, the output of a half-wave rectifer circuit yields a signal equal to the inputsignal; while
    A full-wave rectifier circuit yield twice the frequency of the input signal.

    To obtain a signal proportional to ½ the input signal, you would have to use a 1-stage flip-flop circuit which performs a divide-by-2 function.

    What is your circuit application?
