Since several years, the development of ICs for in-vehicle networks is going from relatively low frequency controller area network (CAN) and local interconnect network (LIN) applications towards higher frequency ethernet applications. Due to higher frequencies and the strict requirements on EMC for automotive applications there is a need to predict the radiated emission performance of ICs on circuit and system level. For this reason, a simulation flow and methodology has been developed to be able to predict the radiated emission that originates from a single IC. The novel methodology has been validated with simple test structures and with measurements in an IC stripline of an ethernet switch application IC.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125688553","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}

Apposite but simple modeling is thereby desirable for the EMC engineer to evaluate at the early design phase and avoid failures in advance. In this work, an easy-to-implement circuit model simulating both contacts arcing and contact bounce phenomenon is derived and implemented in L Tspice., in which arc behavior parameters, as well as bounce time, are extracted from the experimental measurement results using a home-made pulse generator.

Since the structure of the input terminal of the EUT connection is AC power plug itself, the modal S-parameter at the input port of the EUT connection cannot be measured directly with a vector network analyzer (VNA). To measure the modal S-parameter, the EUT connection needs to be measured through the AC-SMA adapter. In order to remove the effect of the AC-SMA adapter and estimate the unknown modal S-parameter of the EUT connection, the EUT connection with AC-SMA adapter is terminated with open, short and $50 Omega$ matching. From these measurement results, the modal S-parameters of input / output ports of the EUT connection are estimated. As a result, the modal S-parameters of the input / output ports are quite different. Therefore, the influence of the modal S-parameter due to the difference in the structure of the input / output ports of the EUT connection cannot be ignored.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134049746","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}

Our aim was to get a better picture about the emission of a solar inverter and also about how disturbances generated by more inverters spread and aggregate on the grid. Thus, based on on-site measurements, this paper investigates the non-intentional supraharmonic emission (both current and voltage) of a solar park that consists of a total of 50 individual PV (photovoltaic) modules and inverters. Supraharmonic voltages and currents were measured at three locations: at one individual PV unit, at a busbar collecting the production of ten PV units and at the transformer, which connects the park with the grid. It was shown that the aggregation of these disturbances is a very complex process, but supraharmonic currents are more likely to flow between the inverters than into the grid. Another important result is that an alteration in production does not significantly change emission levels.","PeriodicalId":376960,"journal":{"name":"2018 International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC EUROPE)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117109999","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}
