The feedback impedance is designed based on the measured impedance of the original CM choke and the EMI filter and is optimized to achieve both impedance boosting and stability across the target frequency range. A customized integrated circuit was developed to realize this function, enabling compact implementation within an 18 mm × 20 mm printed circuit board and supporting cost-effective mass production. Experimental validation using an 11-kW on-board charger demonstrated that the proposed active EMI choke increases CM impedance by more than five times near 300 kHz. Conducted emission tests confirmed that a two-stage EMI filter incorporating the active choke achieves comparable or improved suppression performance relative to a three-stage passive filter while reducing the overall weight by 38%. The proposed method was also applied to various magnetic core materials, with nanocrystalline cores providing the most effective impedance enhancement for broadband EMI suppression.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"68 4","pages":"896-909"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147578087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, experimental evaluations are conducted by altering the enclosure-to-ground-plane grounding of the LP while keeping the DUT constant. The results indicate that differences in common-mode termination (CMT) can cause communication failures, shift failure-frequency ranges, and significantly modify the common-mode current characteristics at the connector. To interpret these phenomena, a “structure-based equivalent circuit model (SB-ECM)” that can reproduce ECUs with variable grounding conditions is developed by discretizing the ECU configuration, achieving qualitative agreement with measurements up to <inline-formula><tex-math>$bm{text{200},text{MHz}}$</tex-math></inline-formula>. Then, a “simplified SB-ECM” is derived to identify dominant elements affecting common-mode impedance (<inline-formula><tex-math>$mathbf {Z}_{text{com}}$</tex-math></inline-formula>) of the CMT and to analyze the influence of the relative magnitude of <inline-formula><tex-math>$mathbf {Z}_{text{com}}$</tex-math></inline-formula> levels between the DUT and LP, resonance, and antiresonance on immunity. The findings demonstrate that the grounding conditions and system geometry of both the DUT and the LP can substantially alter the injected current through the combined effects of cable-length resonance resulting from the CMT conditions. These results provide practical guidance for ECU grounding design, emphasizing the need to consider both DUT and LP conditions, accounting for parasitic capacitance and inductance in the early design stage.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"68 4","pages":"800-812"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148287368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the reverberation chamber-based method defined in IEEE Std. 299.1 employs a straight monopole antenna to characterize the enclosure under test, the monopole’s physical dimensions often limit its applicability in very small enclosures. To address this issue, our previous simulation studies suggested that L-shaped and printed circuit board antennas could serve as viable alternatives. Building upon these insights, through actual measurements, this article validates the performance of these alternative antennas within the IEEE 299.1 framework under four different shielding configurations. The results confirm that both antennas can reliably support shielding effectiveness characterization, offering a practical and space-efficient solution for compact enclosure testing in typical electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) laboratories.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"68 4","pages":"782-789"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148749332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For power distribution networks (PDNs), accurate fitting is challenging because the impedance seen from the chip ranges across several decades. One industry solution is to set the reference impedance <italic>Z</i><sub>ref</sub> = 0.1 Ω for PI ports, which however compromises the accuracy at high frequencies. Other existing methods in the literature have limitations too. In this article, we propose a new approach: use a complex-valued and frequency-dependent <italic>Z</i><sub>ref</sub> that is O(0.1) at kHz and O(10) at GHz, which thus improves the fitting accuracy at both ends of the spectrum. To ensure causality and facilitate equivalent circuit synthesis, the current-wave definition of <italic>S</i>-parameters is chosen, as opposed to other options like the power waves of Youla, Kurokawa, and Marks. The method is compatible with any macromodeling algorithms such as vector fitting or Loewner matrix. Upon completion of fitting, a new circuit topology is proposed to implement the waves with complex <italic>Z</i><sub>ref</sub>, which can be directly simulated by circuit solvers. A realistic 70-port package PDN is used as an example to validate the performance of the proposed method. Results show that good fitting accuracy from kHz to GHz can be achieved, and transient responses are accurate under slow and fast inputs.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"68 4","pages":"1012-1024"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147726039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This strategy effectively suppresses numerical errors and enhances reconstruction stability. Furthermore, five accelerated iterative schemes—Nesterov accelerated gradient, fast iterative shrinkage threshold algorithm, preconditioned conjugate gradient, alternating direction multiplier method, and Barzilai–Borwein—are incorporated to further improve computational efficiency.

Since the deterioration of the shield can have serious consequences, real-time monitoring is critical to ensure the continuous shielding integrity. Conventional shielding effectiveness measurement techniques are limited to periodic evaluations, making them unsuitable for real-time monitoring. Furthermore, conventional shielding effectiveness measurements rely on high field strength electromagnetic signals which are not desired for continuous assessment. This article proposes a passive shielding integrity monitoring method particularly designed for on-site conditions, using signals-of-opportunity and software-defined radio-based receivers. Unlike conventional methods, due to its small footprint, the proposed method is able to be applied in operational enclosures with contents. Experimental results have shown the feasibility and adaptability of the proposed method. The proposed method allows the bridging between periodic evaluations and real-time monitoring and helps in mitigating the risks associated with the potential electromagnetic leakage of interfering signals or compromising emanations, thereby significantly enhancing information security for sensitive environments and critical infrastructure.","PeriodicalId":55012,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility","volume":"68 4","pages":"876-885"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147695673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
