Abstract
Electromagnetic interference issues are associated with high-speed switching of power converters. EMI modeling is an essential tool to study and control the EMI emission, enabling more efficient solutions. A comprehensive review and comparison of different modeling approaches for conducted emissions are provided in this paper, which can be used as a design guideline for engineers. For a motor drive application, common mode and differential mode conducted emissions are studied, and dominant noise production mechanisms are identified. Moreover, a review of various modeling techniques is presented for the main parasitic components of the system. Finally, time domain and frequency domain analysis approaches are explored along with the equivalent circuits which enable fast prediction of EMI emissions. This paper intends to help the reader develop an organized understanding of conducted emission modeling to assist them with a more efficient and electromagnetically-compatible design.
