Circuit Model Analysis for Traces that Cross a DGS

This paper presents a novel modeling technique for traces that cross a defected ground structure. A simple and accurate equivalent circuit model provides clear insight into the coupling mechanism between a microstrip line and a slot or split. The circuit models consist of a transformer as the coupling mechanism and LC resonators as the ground with a slot or split structure. Resistors, capacitors, and inductors are added to the model to increase accuracy and equivalence at high frequency. Simulated and measured S-parameters are presented for defected ground structures. The accuracy and validity of the proposed equivalent circuit model is verified by evaluation of the S-parameter characteristics of the defected ground structures and comparison with measured results.

Study on the High-Frequency Circuit Modeling of the Conducted-Emission from the Motor Drive System of an Electric Vehicle

본 논문에서는 고주파 회로 모델링을 이용하여 전기자동차의 모터 구동 시스템으로부터 방출되는 전도성 전자파 노이즈를 시스템-레벨에서 분석하였다. 관련 전도 방출의 주요 원인은 모터 구동 시스템에서 사용하는 펄스폭 변조방식의 스위칭 동작에 기인하며, 이러한 전도 방출은 공통-임피던스 결합 및 유도성 결합을 통해 AM/FM 주파수 대역에서의 무선주파수 간섭을 유발한다. 이러한 문제를 분석하기 위해 모터 구동 시스템을 구성하고 있는 IGBT와 고압 커패시터, 인버터, 모터 및 고전압 케이블과 버스 바에 대한 기본 회로는 물론, 각 부분에서 존재하는 기생 성분 및 비선형 특성을 해석하여 모터 구동 시스템 전체를 포함한 시스템-레벨의 고주파 등가회로 모델을 제안하였다. 이러한 모델을 이용한 모터 구동시스템의 전도 방출 특성을 시뮬레이션하고, 측정하였으며, 비교적 큰 해석구조임에도 불구하고 두 결과가 비교적 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 향후 이러한 접근방법이 전기자동차의 전자파 적합성 설계에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

High-Frequency Circuit Modeling of the Conducted-Emission from the LDC System of a Electric Vehicle

In this paper, conducted emission from the LDC(Low-Side DC/DC Converter) of a HEV/EV was analyzed using high-frequency circuit modeling in system-level approach. The conducted emission by PWM process(100 kHz; Switching Frequency) can cause RFI(Radio-Frequency Interference) problems in the AM/FM frequency range. In order to mitigate this conducted emission, a high-frequency equivalent circuit model is proposed by analyzing the fundamental circuits, parasitic components in their parts and connections and non-linear characteristics of MOSFETs, high-power capacitors, inverters, motors, high-power cables, and bus bars which are composed of the LDC. Using these circuit models, results of both simulation and measurement were compared and similarities between them were verified. We are looking forward that this approach can be effectively used in the EMC design of HEV/EV.

Improvement of Electromagnetic Environment Effects in aLift System by Installing a Mobile-Communication Repeater

본 연구의 목적은 전자파 적합성을 고려하여 승강기 시스템 내에 중계기 안테나를 설치하는 방안을 제안하는 것이다. 승강로에 중계기 안테나를 설치하는 경우(Solution 1)와 승강기 내부에 중계기 안테나를 설치하는 경우 (Solution 2)의 2가지 solutions을 검토하였으며, Solution 2가 Solution 1보다 효과적임을 확인하였다. 또한, 승강기에 대한 전자파 내성 기술 기준과 20 dB의 안전 마진을 고려하여 중계기 안테나의 출력(EIRP)을 -5 dBm으로 제한할 것을 제안하였으며, 이러한 출력은 이동 통신 시스템의 정밀 전력 제어 메커니즘에 따라 최적의 안정된 전자파 환경을 제공함을 확인하였다. 이러한 접근은 무선을 활용하여 오히려 전자파 환경을 개선할 수 있음을 보여준 본 연구가 Green ICT의 중요한 사례가 될 수 있다.

Optimization of EMC management plan for BOP(Balance of Plant) of fuel cell electric vehicle(FCEV)

The electromagnetic characteristics of FCEVs(fuel cell electric vehicles) are much different from the existing combustion engine cars as well as hybrid, plug-in-hybrid, and pure electric vehicles due to the high voltage/current generated by a fuel cell stack which uses a compressed hydrogen gas reacted with oxygen. To operate fuel cell stack efficiently, BOP(Balance of Plant) is essential. BOP systems are used many not only for motors in water pump, air blower, and hydrogen recycling pump but also inverters for these motors. Since these systems or components are connected by high voltage cables, EMC (Electromagneti c compatibility) management plan for the BOP systems of FCEV is the most important element to prevent the possible electric functional safety errors. In this paper, a systematic approach in applying the EMC standard for FCEV system is studied. Firstly, the analysis procedure for CE(Conducted Emission) and RE (Radiated Emission) from BOP systems is established. Subsequently, theoretical basis for applying EMC standard to BOP system is described.

An Effective Mitigation Method on the Signal-Integrity Effects by Splitting of a Return Current Plane

Generally a return current plane(RCP) of high speed digital and analog part is partitioned. This is achieved in order to decrease the noise interference between subsystem in PCBs(Printed Circuit Boards). However, when the connected signal line exists between each sub system, this partition will cause unwanted effects. In a circuital point of view, RCP partition has a bad influence upon signal integrity. In a EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) point of view, the partition of the return current plane becomes a primary factor to increase the radiated emission. Component bridge(CB) is usecl for the way of maintaining signal integrity, still specific user`s guide doesn`t give sufficient principle. In a view point of signal integrity, design principle of multi-CB using method will be analyzed by measurement and simulation. And design principle of noise mitigation will be provided. Generally interval of CB is ferrite bead. In this study. When multi-CB connection is applied, design principle of ferrite bead and chip resistor is proved by measurement and simulation. Multi-connected chip resistance is proved to be more effective design method in the point of signal integrity.

A Study on the Performance Verification Method of an ALSE(Absorber-Lined Shielded Enclosure) by the CISPR25

본 논문은 자동차 부품의 EMC 규격인 CISPR25의 ALSE 검증 방법에 관하여 새로운 제안을 하였다. CISPR-16은 NSA와 VSWR 방법을 이용하여 챔버 성능을 검증하도록 하고 있다. 그러나 CISPR25의 ALSE는 아직까지 챔버 검증에 관한 표준 방법이 없다. 본 논문은 이러한 관점에서 CISPR D/A JTF에서 논의가 되고 있는 롱-와이어 안테나 방식의 검증 방법을 기반으로 개선된 성능 검증 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 기존에 논의된 롱-와이어 안테나 방식은 길이 500 ㎜의 안테나를 제안했지만, 본 논문에서는 1,700 ㎜ 안테나 길이를 제안하였으며, 정합 조건에 따른 영향도 평가와 기존에 제안된 방법과 관련된 문제점 및 중요 파라미터들에 관하여 검증 및 개선 방안을 제안하였다.This paper proposes a new way to verify the performance of an absorber lined shielded enclosure(ALSE) in accordance with CISPR25, EMC standards dedicated to testing automotive components. CISPR16 requires the use of NSA and VSWR methods to test the performance of a chamber. As for CISPR25, however, there hasn`t been standardized ways to verify the performance of ALSE. This paper purports to present an improved method for the verification based on a long-wire antenna method under discussion at CISPR25 JFT. Existing discussions on a long-wire antenna method proposes that an antenna should reach 500 millimeters in length, while this paper adopts the antenna length of 1,700 millimeters. This paper also assesses the effects of matching conditions and studies problems related to methods which have been already proposed and key parameters in order to improve verification methods.

Research on the Accuracy of Prediction of Radiation Emission from PCB within an Enclosure with a Rectangular Aperture

In this paper, we propose the prediction algorithm of radiation emission from the PCB in an enclosure with a rectangular aperture. PCB scanner is used to measure the near field, which is substituted with an equivalent electric dipole source. Green function and Fourier transform are utilized to represent the electromagnetic fields within and outside the enclosure, respectively. The radiation emission is estimated by using the mode matching technique and surface equivalent theorem. The theoretical results are compared with the measurement to check the accuracy of our analysis.
