EMC analysis of planar PCB-based coils in the vicinity of to the automobile carriage

Abstract

In the future power converter applications will become more and more important as a part of the whole electronic system in an automobile because of the increasing number of devices. Building these converters with planar PCB-based coils makes them more robust against vibrations and cheaper in mass production. With the analysis method presented in this paper the influence of the automobile carriage on these planar inductive components can be investigated. The results are useful for the design and the EMC behavior of these inductors
