Master thesis examines a selected part of electromagnetic compatibility. In this work, there is theoretically discussed how electromagnetic interference appears and how is spread through free space environment. To eliminate ambient interference signals, the measurements have been performed in anechoic chamber where the undesirable interference signals were suppressed. In the thesis, there are also described parameters of EMI receivers and limits of electromagnetic interference. The description of calculations of the antenna height for finding maximum intensity of electric field strength for standard measurement distance has been made. For proposed transformed measurement distance, calculations of intensity electric field with addition of parameters measuring antenna and object under test were performed. Correction curves for conversion intensity electric field have been obtained as the result.

As demand for 5G networks increase, so does the development of network products. In-house testing is essential during the development stage as it enables faster product releases. A part of in-house testing is the product verification stage that includes electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests. These tests ensure that the equipment will not disturb or be disturbed by electric field from itself or other equipment in its vicinity. One of these tests includes function testing of the product in an incident electromagnetic field, called radiated immunity. To perform this test a certain test equipment setup is needed, consisting of a signal generator, amplifier and antenna. It is the antenna that radiates this invisible electromagnetic field that can only be measured with a field probe. Measurements have to be performed in order to define an uniform field area (UFA) in which the incident electromagnetic field is applied to the equipment under test (EUT). The purpose of the thesis is to develop the radiated immunity operation test procedures and test equipment in order for Ericsson to obtain full in-house EMC testing. Firstly, a theoretical review was conducted on EMC testing standards and procedures. Followed by a theoretical assessment of the current test equipment. Experimental measurements were conducted to validate theory and determine the optimal placement of the test equipment. The outcome of the thesis is a fully operational in house test setup for radiated immunity 1–10 GHz as well as test instructions that were written on how to perform this test. So that Ericsson can perform all EMC product verification tests during the design stage of their network products. Key words 5G, internet, network, electromagnetic compatibility, EMC, radiated immunity, test, standard, equipment.

La miniaturisation des circuits intégrés se poursuit de nos jours avec le développement de technologies toujours plus fines et denses. Elle permet une intégration des circuits toujours plus massive, avec des performances plus élevées et une réduction des coûts de production. La réduction de taille des circuits s'accompagne aussi d'une augmentation de leur sensibilité électrique. L'électronique automobile est un acteur majeur dans la nouvelle tendance des véhicules autonomes. Ce type d'application a besoin d'analyser des données et d'appliquer des actions sur le véhicule en temps réel. L'objectif à terme est d'améliorer la sécurité des usagers. Il est donc vital de garantir que ces modules électroniques pourront effectuer leurs tâches correctement malgré toutes les perturbations auxquelles ils seront exposés. Néanmoins, l'environnement automobile est particulièrement sévère pour l'électronique. Parmi tous les stress rencontrés, les décharges électrostatiques (ESD - Electrostatic Discharge) sont une importante source d'agression électrique. Ce type d'évènement très bref est suffisamment violent pour détruire des composants électroniques ou les perturber pendant leur fonctionnement. Les recherches présentées ici se concentrent sur l'analyse des défaillances fonctionnelles. À cause des ESD, des fonctions électroniques peuvent cesser temporairement d'être opérantes. Des méthodes d'analyse et de prédiction sont requises au niveau-circuit intégré afin de détecter des points de faiblesses susceptibles de générer des fautes fonctionnelles pendant l'exposition à un stress électrostatique. Différentes approches ont été proposées dans ce but. Une méthode hiérarchique de modélisation a été mise au point afin d'être capable de reproduire la forme d'onde ESD jusqu'à l'entrée du circuit intégré. Avec cette approche, chaque élément du système est modélisé individuellement puis son modèle ajouté au schéma complet. Un cas d'étude réaliste de défaillance fonctionnelle d'un circuit intégré a été analysé à l'aide d'outils de simulation. Afin d'obtenir plus de données sur cette faute, une puce de test a été développée, contenant des structures de surveillance et de mesure directement intégrées dans la puce. La dernière partie de ce travail de recherche est concentrée sur le développement de méthodes d'analyse dans le but d'identifier efficacement des fautes par simulation. Une des techniques développées consiste à modéliser chaque bloc d'une fonction individuellement puis permet de chaîner ces modèles afin de déterminer la robustesse de la fonction complète. La deuxième méthode tente de construire un modèle équivalent dit boite-noire d'une fonction de haut-niveau d'un circuit intégré. Ces travaux de recherche ont mené à la mise au point de prototypes matériels et logiciels et à la mise en évidence de points bloquants qui pourront constituer une base pour de futurs travaux. / Miniaturization of electronic circuits continues nowadays with the more recent technology nodes being applied to diverse fields of application such as automotive. Very dense and small integrated circuits are interesting for economic reasons, because they are cheaper to manufacture in mass and can pack more functionalities with elevated performances. The counterpart of size reduction is integrated circuits becoming more fragile electrically. In the automotive world, the new trend of fully autonomous driving is seeing tremendous progress recently. Autonomous vehicles must take decisions and perform critical actions such as braking or steering the wheel. Those decisions are taken by electronic modules, that have now very high responsibilities with regards of our safety. It is important to ensure that those modules will operate no matter the kind of disturbances they can be exposed to. The automotive world is a quite harsh environment for electronic systems. A major source of electrical stress is called the Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). It is a very sudden flow of electricity of large amplitude capable of destroying electronic components, or disturb them during their normal operation. This research focuses on functional failures where functionality can be temporarily lost after an ESD with various impact on the vehicle. To guarantee before manufacturing that a module and its components will perform their duty correctly, new analysis and prediction methods are required against soft-failures caused by electrostatic discharges. In this research, different approaches have been explored and proposed towards that goal. First, a modelling method for reproducing the ESD waveforms from the test generator up to the integrated circuit input is presented. It is based on a hierarchical approach where each element of the system is modelled individually, then added to the complete setup model. A practical case of functional failure at silicon-level is analyzed using simulation tools. To acquire more data on this fault, a testchip has been designed. It contains on-chip monitoring structures to measure voltage and current, and monitor function behavior directly at silicon-level. The last part of this research details different analysis methods developed for identifying efficiently functional weaknesses. The methods rely heavily on simulation tools, and prototypes have been implemented to prove the initial concepts. The first method models each function inside the chip individually, using behavioral models, then enables to connect the models together to deduce the full function's robustness. It enables hierarchical analysis of complex integrated circuit designs, to identify potential weak spots inside the circuit that could require more shielding or protection. The second method is focused on constructing equivalent electrical black box models of integrated circuit functions. The goal is to model the IC with a behavioral, black-box model capable of reproducing waveforms in powered conditions during the ESD. In summary, this research work has led to the development of several hardware and software prototypes. It has also highlighted important modelling challenges to solve in future works to achieve better functional robustness against electrostatic discharges.

Dans les domaines industriels et en particulier celui du transport, le nombre et la puissance des équipements électriques et électroniques embarqués est en constante augmentation. L’alimentation des équipements électriques et la commande de ces actionneurs nécessitent l’utilisation de convertisseurs d’électronique de puissance à découpage dont la nature perturbatrice n’est plus à démontrer. Afin de prendre en compte la CEM dès la phase de conception d’un produit, les constructeurs doivent disposer d’outils dédiés à la CEM ou à défaut de règles ou techniques de conception spécifiques. C’est dans l’optique de répondre à ces besoins que se sont orientés ces travaux de thèse.La première partie des travaux traite de la modélisation des perturbations conduites des organes de puissance d’une chaîne de traction : un ensemble convertisseur / machine synchrone à rotor bobiné. Cette étude a conduit à un modèle CEM générique d’une structure non isolée quelconque d’électronique de puissance. La deuxième partie a permis de développer une nouvelle méthode de calcul qui ouvre de réelles perspectives quant à la réduction des temps de calcul. Par l’observation et l’étude de signaux sur différents horizons temporels, une technique de reconstitution des perturbations de mode commun par convolution a été proposée. Une troisième partie, consiste à synthétiser les sources de perturbations grâce à l’élaboration de fonctions de transfert décrivant le comportement haute fréquence d’une cellule de commutation. Cette approche immédiatement exploitable en simulation numérique se distingue dans la mesure où elle permet de s’affranchir des non linéarités intrinsèques des composants semi-conducteurs. / In the transport field, whether road, rail, marine or aeronautic, the number and power of embedded electric or electronic devices are constantly increasing. New features, often developed for passengers comfort, are responsible for this increase. Moreover, many actuators which were previously mechanical, thermal or hydraulic are replaced by electrical ones. Those new actuators need an electrical power supply which most of the time rely on power electronics. It is well known that this kind of device generate high levels of disturbances. In order to take into account the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) at the design stage of a product, builders need tools adapted to EMC or specific conception rules. The work performed during this thesis is geared in order to meet these needs.The first part deals with the modeling of conducted electromagnetic interferences (EMI) of an electrical power train mainly composed by power electronics converter and a wound rotor synchronous machine. Thanks to this study, a generic model of any non-insulated structure of power electronics was developed. The second part consists in developing a new computing method which allows to reduce the time of computing. Based on the observation of signals on different time intervals, a reconstruction technique by convolution product is proposed and applied for a common mode current. The third part deals with the elaboration of sources of disturbances by transfer functions which describe the high frequency behavior of a switching cell. This modeling is directly implementable in a circuit simulation software as it allows to linearize the intrinsic non linear behavior of the semiconductor components.

Les convertisseurs de puissance sont largement utilisés de nos jours dans des applications qui demandent une grande autonomie énergétique, comme par exemple ceux qui sont alimentés par des batteries. En particulier, les amplificateurs de type Class-D sont fréquemment utilisés dans les applications audio. Ces amplificateurs commutés ont une architecture ressemblante à celle d'un convertisseur DC-DC, ce qui les permet d'avoir une efficacité énergétique élevée. Cependant, leur inconvénient majeur est la forte émission en perturbations électromagnétiques (EM). Cela peut causer des problèmes de conformité avec les normes de compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM), ou bien perturbé le bon fonctionnement des applications électroniques qui l'entour. Pour cela, ils existent de nombreuses études qui permettent de réduire les émissions d'un amplificateur de Class D. Cependant, cela n'est pas suffisant pour retirer le filtre de CEM. Il est donc nécessaire d'optimiser ces filtres et de faciliter leurs conceptions. Ceci est le but de la présente thèse et il est divisé en quatre grandes parties. La première partie commence par développer une technique de modélisation dans le domaine fréquentiel. Cette technique qui est basée sur la détermination et la manipulation des matrices d'impédances a comme but de simuler et prédire les perturbations EM générées par un amplificateur de Class D. Tous les aspects théoriques de la méthode ont été développés. Ensuite, une application pratique sur un système de Class D dédié à la téléphonie mobile nous a permis de valider la méthode jusqu'à une fréquence de 100 MHz. Un amplificateur de Class D est une source de perturbation aussi bien sur les rails d'alimentation que sur les rails de sortie. Pour cela, le filtre de CEM est nécessaire sur les rails de l'alimentation comme il y est en sortie. Néanmoins, un filtre correctement construit doit être conçu en prenant en compte l'impédance de la charge qui est la batterie dans ce cas. Pour cela, la deuxième partie a pour objectif la mesure de l'impédance de la batterie sur la gamme de fréquence considérée. Ainsi, une technique de mesure d'impédance de batterie en utilisant un impédance mètre est développée. Ensuite, une application expérimentale sur un convertisseur DC-DC et une batterie nous a permis de valider la procédure de mesure. La troisième partie s'est focalisée sur l'optimisation du filtre de CEM. Le modèle fréquentiel développé dans la première partie est intégré dans une boucle d'optimisation basée sur un algorithme génétique. L'optimisation inclus plusieurs critères dans sa fonction objective qui sont l'augmentation de la capacité du filtre à réduire les émissions EM, la diminution des pertes supplémentaires due à l'utilisation du filtre et finalement le gain du filtre dans la bande de fréquence du signal audio. Cette étude est poursuivie par une validation expérimentale. La quatrième et la dernière partie étudie et quantifie les impacts du filtre de CEM sur la qualité audio de l'amplificateur. En effet, le filtre de CEM est l'un des chemins propagation du signal audio. Par suite, tout comportement non linéaire du filtre conduit à la distorsion du signal audio. Pour cela, cette partie est dédiée à la modélisation et la simulation des composants passifs contenant un matériau magnétique. En particulier, l'étude s'est focalisée sur la modélisation des perles de ferrite en utilisant le modèle de matériaux magnétiques Jiles-Aterthon. Les résultats de simulations sont comparés avec la mesure dans le domaine temporel et fréquentiel. En plus, le calcul du taux de distorsion harmonique nous a permis de valider le modèle sur une large plage d'amplitude. / Switching power management circuits are widely used in battery powered embedded applications in order to increase their autonomy. In particular, for audio applications, Class-D amplifiers are a widespread industrial solution. These, have a similar architecture of a buck converter but having the audio signal as reference. The switching nature of these devices allows us to increase significantly the power efficiency compared to linear audio amplifiers without reducing the audio quality. However, because of the switching behavior, Class-D amplifiers have high levels of electromagnetic (EM) emissions which can disturb the surrounding electronics or might not comply with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards. To overcome this problem much architecture appeared in the state of the art that reduces the emissions, however, this has never been enough to remove electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters. It is then useful to optimize these filters, thus, it has been set as the goal of this PhD thesis. The latter has been divided to four main axes which can be resumed by the following. First, this work started by developing a frequency domain modeling method in order to simulate and predict the EMI of Class-D amplifiers in the final application. The method is based on system to block decomposition and impedance matrix modeling and manipulation. After providing all the theoretical background, the method has been validated on integrated differential Class-D amplifier. The experimental measurements have permitted to validate the method only up to 100MHz. However, this is sufficient to cover the conducted EMC frequency band. Second, the EMI at the supply rails of Class-D amplifiers has been treated. As the battery is often the same power supply for all applications in an embedded system, an EMI filter or a decoupling capacitor is needed to prevent the noise coupling by common impedance. Designing this filter needs the knowledge of the battery impedance at the desired frequencies. Therefore the present work dealt also with measuring the high frequency impedance of a battery. Afterwards, an experimental validation has been carried on with a DC-DC converter and a Class-D amplifier. The developed model allows a virtual test of the switching device in the final application. However, it is more useful if the model is able to help the system integrator in designing filters. Thus, third, the model has been implemented in an optimization loop based on a genetic algorithm in order to optimize the filter response, and also, reduce the additional power losses introduced by an EMI filter. The optimization search space has been limited to the components available on the market and the optimization result is given as component references of the optimal filter referring to the optimal solution found. This procedure has been validated experimentally. Finally, EMI filters often are constituted by magnetic components such as ferrite beads or inductors with magnetic cores. Thus, introducing the EMI filter in the audio path, adds a nonlinear behavior in the audio frequency band. Designing a high quality EMI filter require taking into account this phenomenon and studying its impact of the original amplifier audio performance. Therefore, the Jiles-Atherton model for magnetic materials has been used for ferrite bead modeling. Hereafter, the impact on the time and frequency domain signals has been simulated and compared to measurements. Finally, the total harmonic distortion (THD) has been computed for different signal amplitudes and compared to the THD measured using an audio analyzer. Accurate results have been obtained on a wide range of signal amplitudes. As a conclusion, this work aimed to design optimal EMI filters for Class-D amplifiers. Thus, we dealt with improving their EMI response, reducing their additional power losses and evaluating their impact on the audio quality.

Les matériaux absorbants électromagnétiques, ou « Radar Absorbing Materials » (RAM), ont été créés à la fois aux USA et en Allemagne lors de la seconde guerre mondiale. Les applications des absorbants appartiennent principalement aux domaines de la Compatibilité ElectroMagnétique (CEM) et de la discrétion radar. Ces absorbants sont lourds et encombrants. Au travers de cette thèse, nous cherchons à développer une solution pour pallier à ces inconvénients grâce aux absorbants à métamatériaux. Les métamatériaux sont des composites artificiels présentant des propriétés électromagnétiques que l'on ne retrouve pas dans la nature. En utilisant ce type de matériaux, nous pouvons obtenir des absorbants ultras fins, et par l'optimisation et la conception couvrir des bandes larges en fréquence. Nous proposons donc plusieurs formes basiques d'absorbant à métamatériaux. De ces formes, nous présentons un modèle théorique et développons les techniques pour définir leur fréquence de fonctionnement et les paramètres nécessaires pour obtenir une absorption totale. Puis nous étudions plus en détail nos différents prototypes à travers des simulations et des mesures. Nous étudions aussi le couplage des absorbants à métamatériaux avec des absorbants traditionnels pour créer un type d'absorbant inédit. / Electromagnetic absorbing materials, or "Radar Absorbing Materials" (RAM), were created in the U.S. and Germany at the same time during the Second World War. Applications of absorbers are mainly in the field of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and radar stealth. These absorbers are heavy and bulky. In this thesis, we seek to develop a solution to overcome these drawbacks using metamaterial absorbers. Metamaterials are artificial composites with electromagnetic properties that are not found in nature. By using this type of material, we can obtain ultra-thin absorbers over a wide band of frequency by optimizing the design. We introduce several basic forms of metamaterial absorbers. From these geometries, we present a theoretical model and we develop techniques to define their operating frequency and parameters required to achieve total absorption. Then we study in detail our various prototypes with simulations and measurements. We also study the coupling of metamaterial absorbers with traditional ones to create a new type of absorber.

Com o déficit de energia que atualmente preocupa o setor elétrico brasileiro, ameaçando os consumidores com a possibilidade de novos racionamentos, surge a perspectiva de aumento de produção de energia, através da criação de usinas eólicas para suprir essa demanda. Entretanto, esta forma de geração, sabidamente, provoca distorções na qualidade de energia fornecida, principalmente quanto à geração de harmônicas, que acabam por interferir diretamente nas cargas podendo provocar danos a equipamentos e instalações. Por esse motivo, este trabalho visa analisar a contribuição desse tipo de geração no sistema elétrico e discutir, com base em estudos experimentais realizados em modelos de aerogeradores e diretamente em unidades geradoras instaladas em plantas de geração eólica, as perturbações harmônicas geradas pelo controle de tensão e frequência do sistema. A metodologia utilizada será a de medição das distorções harmônicas, através de analisadores de qualidade de energia, instalados primeiramente em modelos laboratoriais dos principais tipos de aerogeradores existentes no mercado, medindo as perturbações em diversas situações de carga, obedecendo ao estabelecido na norma NBR-IEC- 61400-21/2010 Medição e Avaliação da Qualidade de Energia de Aerogeradores Conectados a Rede. / With the energy deficit that currently worries the Brazilian electric sector, threatening consumers with the possibility of further rationing comes the prospect of increased energy production through the creation of wind farms to meet this demand. However, this form of generation is known to distort the quality of power supplied, especially as the generation of harmonics, which ultimately interfere directly in the loads can cause damage to equipment and facilities. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the contribution of this type of generation on the electrical system and discuss, based on experimental studies in directly generating units installed in wind generation plants, disturbances generated by harmonic voltage and frequency control system. The methodology will be the measurement of harmonic distortion through power quality analyzers, installed primarily in laboratory models of the main types of wind turbines on the market, measuring disturbances in various loading conditions, obeying the established standard NBR-IEC-61400-21/2010 - Measurement and Evaluation of Power Quality of Wind Turbines Connected Network.
