Investigation of Radiated Electromagnetic Interference for an Isolated High-Frequency DC-DC Power Converter With Power Cables

To analyze the radiated electromagnetic interference generated by isolated power converters, this paper proposes a technique to develop a general radiation model for the converters. The radiated electric field can be predicted from the developed model. The interaction between the impedance of the converter and the undesired antenna in the converter's power delivery paths is explored in detail based on the developed model. Moreover, a dual active bridge converter is taken as an example to demonstrate the developed modeling technique based on the converter's topology. The radiated electric field of the dual active bridge converter is predicted from the developed model. Experiments are conducted to validate the developed model and the predicted interaction between the converter impedance and the undesired antenna impedance in the power delivery paths.
