Advances in power semiconductor devices have led to inverters with unprecedented voltage edge rates. This has decreased inverter switching losses and enabled the use of increasingly higher switching frequencies. However, faster edge rates and higher switching frequencies increase electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems, machine insulation stress, bearing currents, and other aspects of system design. Typical computer simulations used to design and evaluate proposed electric drive systems cannot be used to predict these high-frequency effects. A wide-bandwidth multi-resolutional analysis that allows designers to anticipate and quantify high-frequency effects is detailed in this paper. The approach is specifically applied to permanent magnet synchronous …

The coupling between apertures or slots in airflow arrays is investigated numerically by means of the method of moments (MoM). Application to shielding enclosure design is of particular interest. Justification for a previously extracted simple empirical design approach for the relation between the number N and size a of apertures, and the shielding effectiveness ∼Na3 for an airflow aperture array is given. The coupling between slots is also investigated. The application limit of the empirical design approach is demonstrated.

Power island structures are often employed for minimizing the propagation of high-frequency noise on DC power buses. The rationale is based on introducing a series impedance in the power plane to provide isolation of a noise source from the rest of the PCB design. The power island concept is investigated herein experimentally, to determine its noise mitigation attributes and limitations. A modeling approach that is suitable for arbitrary PCB island geometries including lumped SMT decoupling capacitors is also presented. The modeling and measurements indicate that island structures can achieve some degree of isolation under certain conditions.

The EMI performance of cable-connector assemblies designed for FC-0 transmission has been studied. Two types of cable and two connector styles were evaluated. Experimental results show that the dominant radiation mechanism for short cable lengths is the common-mode current caused by source and PCB skew that leaks to the exterior of the shield via the transfer impedance of the connector. However, the cable imbalance becomes a more significant source of common-mode current than the source skew when the cable assembly is tens of meters long.

Power islands are often used to isolate devices that put noise on a power bus from devices that may be susceptible to power bus noise. At high frequencies however, the effectiveness of these islands depends on the implementation. This paper experimentally investigates the effectiveness of different power island structures at frequencies up to 3 GHz.

Frequency-selective measurement of microwave signal parameters based on application of gyromagnetic converters has proven advantageous for the research of microwave radiation over a wide spectrum (several octaves) in multisignal regime in microwave path and for the solution of a number of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems. The measurement frequency band can be enlarged to millimeter-waves with application of monocrystal hexagonal ferrite resonators (HFR) having high internal magnetic fields. Millimeter-wave field interactions with the HFR having alternating resonance frequency are analyzed. This is useful for millimeter-wave signal modulation and demodulation. The analysis is based on the solution of magnetization vector motion equation …
