Conducted EMC modelling in modern DC-DC power converters

Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2017.In his thesis, CONDUCTED EMC MODELLING IN MODERN DC-DC POWER CONVERTERS, the conducted electromagnetic effects of high-density high-switching frequency modern power converters are studied. The noise source and noise path were modelled and the results calibrated to accredited noise levels. A VHF frequency model was developed and verified using different analysis packages and compared for accuracy, affordability and ease of use. Noise modes were separated and verified for accuracy. The mechanisms of the noise modes were studied and noise mitigation techniques presented.Electrical, Electronic and Computer EngineeringPhDUnrestricte
