M.Ing. / The use of electronically controlled electrical power equipment, specifically power converters, has rapidly increased in recent years. It has subsequently been found that different electrical equipment, placed or working in close proximity, can negatively influences each other's performance. The degradation in performance could be attributed to mutual electromagnetic interference (EMI). Traditional methods of testing conducted EMI usually follow a black box approach with additional filter elements being added to the converter input to bring it within specification. This study focuses on the conducted electromagnetic interference of a specially built experimental boost converter that would typically be used as a preregulator to improve the power factor. The converter circuit was constructed in a number of functional circuit sections in order to assess an individual section's contribution to the emission and propagation of conducted EMI throughout the converter. The operational behaviour of the converter can thus be systematically studied and improved before additional filter components are added. The measurement standards require that conducted EMI measurements are made at the power source input of the equipment under test. These measurement techniques do not allow a systematic tracing of the propagation of conducted EMI throughout a converter circuit. Since no frequency spectrum measurement is available at any other measurement point in the converter. Part of this thesis was thus devoted to the development of an enhancement to current measurement techniques that enables EMI frequency measurements throughout a converter. A special EMI probe was developed for this purpose. Using this EMI probe conducted EMI propagation can be traced from its source throughout a converter to the power input. An analytical analysis of the boost converter's behaviour, with emphasis placed on its switching transients, was initially undertaken. This was continued with PSPICE® circuit simulation. Various aspects of the converters operational behaviour were considered. The simulation results suggested modifications to the converter switch circuit, which would improve the boost converter's conducted EMI characteristics. These were then evaluated with corresponding practical measurements carried out on the boost converter. The practical results confirm that the converters switching behaviour can be directly related to the parasitic and other components. Improvement of the converter switching behaviour lead to an improvement of the conducted EMI emissions of the boost converter.

M.Ing. / Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of electronic equipment is currently an important design parameter. Layout play a significant role in the EMC of power electronic converters. This thesis describes an investigation undertaken into the electromagnetic effects of converter layout. Typical detrimental effects identified during experimental work are presented. Possible causes for these effects are discussed. The experimental work is based on a systematic approach, which starts with a basic single switch chopper and ends in a split supply half-bridge converter. Interconnection modelling and SPICE simulations of layout affects are investigated next. The focus falls on analytical equations for extraction and simplified simulation circuits to make the process generally accessible. Typical resonant frequencies present in some of the experimental circuits are investigated with the help of analytically extracted parameters. The possibility of minimizing detrimental layout effects through impedance matching of interconnections and their terminations, is investigated next, since the previous section quantified layout parameters. Distributed vs. lumped element modelling of interconnections, and the boudary in between, are discussed. Simulation and experimental results are presented. Since maximum fuctionality and power, and minimum cost, per volume drives product development, all elements of a circuit should be investigated for the possibility of realizing secondary or even tertiary functions contributing to normal circuit operation. This is the focus of the last part of this thesis. Employing interconnections as low-pass or surge filters are investigated. Several waveforms are used to test experimental interconnection structures. Lumped and distributed modelling of these strucutres are discussed. The thesis concludes with a theoretical investigation into the possibility of dissipation of surge-energy instead of reflection utilizing interconnection-structures. One of these structures utilizes the skin- and proximity effect to realize low-pass behaviour.

M.Ing. / This thesis investigates why electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) problems exist and how EMI is generated, measured and limited. This investigation is done with reference to power systems and satellite earth stations. To understand the full extend of EMI generation from power systems on satellite earth stations, it was necessary to do a study of EMI, in order to understand EMI in its simplest form. This study consists of the following work: •A background study investigates the components of EMI, how EMI are generated and manifest in electric systems, methods to limit conducted EMI, a theoretical model on how to estimate conducted EMI quantities and EMI measurement techniques. •A conducted EMI model with which the parasitic impedances could be controlled was developed. With this model it could then be determined how conducted EMI would manifest in 3-wire circuit designs and how conducted EMI could be reduced in such circuits. •It was investigated how inductive coupling and capacitive coupling can be reduced. Time and frequency domain measurements were used to investigate the effects of these couplings. It was also of great importance to understand how EMI from measurement set-ups could influence measurements to give inaccurate results. This work investigated how high frequency measurements can be done effectively, how high frequency circuit designs can be improved and how parasitic impedances can be limited in high frequency equipment. •The expected EMI problem at the Klipheuwel wind farm was analysed. Simulations of expected EMI levels, worst case scenarios and measurements taken there showed that no significant EMI are generated from the wind generators and that power systems don’t hold a threat to satellite earth stations, if the necessary precautions are taken.

The diploma thesis deals with the influence of magnetic and electromagnetic fields on signals transmitted by optical fibers. Subsequently, the results of individual measured values are evaluated and analyzed, which were measured using an interferometer and a polarimeter. The first part deals with the theoretical analysis of the principles of interference and polarization of light. It further explains the basic operation of the above-mentioned devices as well as the immunity of the optical fiber to EMI. The second part of the work presents selected devices and technologies that were used as a source of electromagnetic or magnetic radiation. Subsequently, individual phenomena are plotted both in the course of time and with the help of a spectrogram or Poincaré sphere. From the measured results we can conclude that the commonly available technologies, which were selected for the diploma thesis, will not cause greater negative problems to the signal on measured frequencies in optical fibre, that could degrade the transmitted signal.

From past experiments conducted with high intensity lasers, it has been known for some time that laser matter interactions result in the emission of short, transient electromagnetic pulses. Previous investigations into laser generated electromagnetic pulses provide basic information regarding frequencies where such pulses may be present, along with the time duration of the pulses. Such investigations have also demonstrated a number of measurement techniques in which basic information on the pulses may be obtained. The purpose of this current investigation is to obtain a more thorough description and understands of electromagnetic pulses generated for laser matter interaction. To this end, spatial radiation patterns emanating from various laser excited matter sources was predicted using antenna theory for far field radiators. Experimentally, it is the intention of this investigation to gather comprehensive time and frequency domain data on laser matter generated electromagnetic pulses using a number of specific laser targets. Radiation detection techniques using broadband, calibrated EMC horn antennas were devised. A unique measurement system known as an inverse superhetereodyne receiver was designed, tested and demonstrated. An experimental setup using such instrumentation was established. Using the above instrumentation and experimental setup should yield comprehensive time and frequency domain data over a spectra range of 1-40 GHz and with a time resolution of 50 ps. Because the experimental system employed is calibrated, measurements can be corresponded to incident electromagnetic fields. Several tests were conducted to ensure the proper operation of experimental apparatus. A modulation test was conducted on the inverse superhetereodyne receiver to ensure that the experimentally observed signals appeared when and where predicted within the receiver's bandwidth. The experimental setup was used to measure radiation emitted from an electrostatic discharge source of known distance and discharge voltage. Frequency domain data from the discharges were collected and compiled using a Matlab application ultimately intended to measure laser matter interaction generated electromagnetic pulses, resulting in a compiled frequency domain description comprising 1-17 GHz. The inverse Fourier transform was used to retrieve the time domain response from the compiled data. The discharge gaps characteristics where systematically altered as to allow a parametric study of the compiled data. The discharge measurements demonstrate the measurement system's ability to analyze unknown, short duration; broadband microwave signals.
