A full-wave bridge rectifier circuit makes use of both halves of the AC cycle, but unlike the full-wave centre-tap rectifier circuit it does not require:
a centre-tapped secondary on the transformer
A bridge rectifier uses four diodes to provide full-wave rectification from a single, non-center-tapped transformer secondary winding, whereas a full-wave center-tap rectifier requires a center tap and only two diodes.
