This problem is much more prevalent in various forms of hybrid PM magnetization topologies such as Halbach array based PM (HAPM) or Halbach array based consequent pole based PM (HACPPM) rotors. In order to improve the air-gap magnetic flux density estimation using the CEF design method, a flux density adjustment factor is proposed in this work, which utilizes a look-up table formed upon a reduced electromagnetic finite-element simulation search space to improve the accuracy of flux density estimation in both Halbach and Consequent-Halbach PM rotors using the flux concentration factor (FCF). First, the derivation of the FCF is introduced. Then the effectiveness of the FCF + CEF method is analyzed quantitatively, in comparison with conventional CEF and 2D-FE (electromagnetic) methods and performance is analyzed.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"8 ","pages":"241-251"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49981547","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}

In this work, we develop a robust multiscale system-level modeling and simulation methodology for predicting CISPR 25 conducted emission (CE) and radiated emission (RE). The method is based on a novel two-stage process. In the first stage, the IC model is generated either by non-linear time-domain simulation using a device-level physics model or oscilloscope measurements if a prototype is available. In the second stage, the IC model waveforms are used in a simulation environment comprising 3D full-wave frequency domain analysis and specially prepared macro-models for the laboratory equipment. Silicon validation of CISPR 25 EMC measurements on a “low-EMI,” high-performance DCDC automotive/industrial synchronous step-down converter is presented to validate the integrity of the predictive modeling methodology. Good correlations between modeling and EMC-certified testing laboratory emission measurements are achieved (i.e., within +/- 3 dBuV for CE and +/- 6 dBuV for RE). As a result, the predictive EMC modeling methodology can be implemented, early in the design cycle, to ensure first-pass EMC-compliant design.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"8 ","pages":"269-280"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49962913","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}

Then, the layered finite element method is utilized to model complex geometries and reduce the original system matrix to that only involves two-dimensional (2-D) surface unknowns in each layer.

By introducing a novel quasi-static approximation on the full-wave PGF in the spectrum domain, the quasi-static PGF is derived that can retain the contribution from propagating and evanescent modes below resonant frequency by a second-order polynomial of frequency. Unlike full-wave PGF, the proposed quasi-static PGF polynomial coefficients are frequency-invariant. Consequently, it can save the modeling time significantly by calculating the coefficients only once for a frequency band of interest. Moreover, a quasi-static PEEC model is developed from the proposed quasi-static PGF. It circumvents the breakdown problem around near-zero frequencies since the singularity in PGF is separated in the quasi-static PGF and eliminated analytically in model development. Therefore, both the time- and frequency-domain analysis can be conducted easily using a SPICE-like solver on the PEEC model. Two examples are given, one of which validates the accuracy of the proposed quasi-static PGF in a 2D periodic unit cell working at 0–12 GHz; the other demonstrates the superior performance in terms of model efficiency and stability by a Jerusalem-cross frequency selective surface (FSS) working at 0–20 GHz. The numerical results show that the proposed method is accurate and efficient in a wide band for metasurfaces made of two-dimensional periodic structures.","PeriodicalId":52176,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques","volume":"8 ","pages":"187-194"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49981541","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}

Moreover, for such a matrix of size \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$m times n$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000, it is shown that the dominant singular values are [expected to be] \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$sqrt {mn} /k$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 times those of a \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$k times k$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 matrix formed by randomly sampling \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$k$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 of its rows and columns.
