EMC/EMI aspects of Power Electronics
Power electronics flexibly convert voltage, current, frequency of electricity based on the switching operation of power device. Inductors and capacitors are used to store electrical energy for switching short period and smoothens the input and output voltage and current. The higher switching frequency with fast switching of power device not only makes high controllability of converter, but also miniaturize the system with smaller inductance and capacitance.
The basics of power conversion mechanism in power electronics is explained at first with assuming ideal switching operation and circuit configuration; e.g. DC-DC step up/down converter, DC-AC inverter, and AC-DC converter.
The key component in power conversion circuit is a power switching device, which also causes EMI noise in its operation. The non-ideal behavior of power device in switching operation is explained precisely based on the semiconductor physics.
The parasitic inductance and capacitance is originate from geometric structure of component and wirings in actual circuit. The mechanisms to generate EMI nose by the interaction of switching operation in power device and parasitic components in the circuit is addressed.
The switching operation in power conversion circuit intrinsically generates differential mode noise, and which are almost suppressed with the properly designed filter circuit. The asymmetry of circuit topology induces the common mode noise, which should be suppressed to avoid noise emission. The mechanisms for common mode noise generation is also explained.

Correlating Between EMC Test Facilities and the Role of EUT Directivity

Emission and immunity tests can be made at a variety of EMC test facilities. These include open area test sites (OATS), semi-anechoic chambers (SAC), fully anechoic rooms (FAR), and reverberation chambers (RC). Ideally each of these facilities would yield the same test result for a given test object, that is, a product that passes a test in one facility would pass tests in the others and a product that fails in one facility would fail in the others. This ideal case could be met if emission and immunity data could be exactly correlated between EMC facilities. However, because most test objects are quite complex and because present EMC facility test methods sample different subsets of the full range of possible emission and immunity test variables, exact correlation of test data is typically not possible. This lecture will review simple models to describe emission and immunity tests and correlation at the above facilities, and the role of directivity as one transitions from simple (electrically small) to complex (electrically large) patterns.
