Interleaving converters can achieve the aforementioned criteria while lowering differential-mode (DM) noise and therefore filter weight and volume, which are limiting factors in all-electric aircraft (AEA). The switching of the converters, on the other hand, produces common-mode (CM) noise. As a result, the emphasis of this letter is on the impact of interleaving forward converters on possible CM noise reduction via pulse alignment. This letter discusses theory as well as potential practical limits. The data revealed that the rise and fall duration and the number of interleaved converters have an influence on CM noise reduction. To demonstrate the concept of this interleaving method, simulation results and experimental setups are used.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"6 2","pages":"79-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Brush noise can be mitigated by installing an EMI filter into the brush motor. However, another EMI issue related to switching noise may arise due to \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$LC$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 resonance between the X capacitor of the EMI filter and the equivalent series inductance (ESL) of the power cables. The \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$RL$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 snubber is promising for resonance suppression because its components can be easily mounted on the ECU board, thus reducing EMI without necessitating many design process revisions. Furthermore, our proposed optimal design method for \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$RL$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 snubbers, based on circuit simulations, is applicable. This is because an automotive brush motor system equipped with an \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$RL$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 snubber can be represented by a simple equivalent circuit characterized by a third-order characteristic equation, meeting the requirements of our optimal design method.

This letter presents a prescan method based on a large-band injection in order to determine rapidly the more relevant scanning positions, the frequency range of interests, and an estimation of the susceptibility level on each scanning position. The prescan provides the configuration parameters of the full NFSI scan in order to keep an acceptable test duration.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"6 2","pages":"57-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141164682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These are particularly relevant on the backdrop of 1) the ban of products in the EU market due to noncompliance and 2) the increased switching frequency in the inverters \u0000<inline-formula> <tex-math>$(sim 100$ </tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 s of kHz) in the near future. Specifically, the common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM) currents and voltages are measured, and their frequency-domain behavior is studied. It is suggested that conducted emissions from PV can be classified into three zones: 1) extremely low-frequency (ELF) zone, 2) power frequency zone, and 3) switching frequency zone. Important observations from this exercise are the measurement of harmonic contents of current with total rated current distortion (TRD), imbalance in the output voltage, and low-frequency ripples in the dc voltage. Frequency-domain behavior of the CM quantities is studied which throws light on important points like a relation between input and output CM quantities and a relation between CM voltage and CM current.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"16-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140067534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The absorber’s compact nature, wide oblique angle coverage, and insensitivity to polarization angles make it a versatile solution. This absorber is designed by stacking two dual-band metamaterial absorbers. The upper layer incorporates a design composed of four concentric rings loaded in a cross configuration. Meanwhile, the middle layer is formed with two sets of embedded rings and split rings, all centered around a crossed rod. The absorber exhibits absorption peaks above 90% in the frequency bands of operation. Importantly, its performance remains consistent across varying polarization angles and is capable of sustaining absorptivity exceeding 90% at oblique angles of up to 60° for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes. A comprehensive model is established to elucidate the absorption mechanism and investigate the interplay between geometric characteristics and absorptivity. This model aids in adapting the structure to specific frequency requirements. Practical fabrication is accomplished using a straightforward printed-circuit board fabrication technique. Experimental measurements closely align with the anticipated performance, validating the effectiveness of the proposed multilayer absorber design.","PeriodicalId":100625,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Letters on Electromagnetic Compatibility Practice and Applications","volume":"6 1","pages":"29-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140067563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
