Abstract :
The authors discuss the generation and modeling of conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a single-phase AC/DC power converter with sinusoidal line current at unity power factor. The converter is composed of a diode rectifier and a conventional boost converter with pulsewidth modulation (PWM) control. Due to this control mode the input current has a very low content of harmonics (the multiple of mains frequency is 50 Hz); thus, power supply voltage distortion is considerably reduced. Noise generation and emission in the radio-frequency range (10 kHz-30 MHz), i.e., radio-frequency interference are highlighted. Their characterization requires a precise knowledge of the input current, which is simulated with a particular software. Noise signal measurements are carried out by means of a line impedance stabilization network, a standardized measuring tool
