The identification and localization of large-range, wide-band electromagnetic interference (EMI) sources have always been both costly and time-consuming. The measurements at different times and places are often required before a typical system can locate a target. In this paper, we proposed a 2D electromagnetic imaging system to localize interference sources and identify the EMI frequency in real time. In this system, an offset paraboloid with a diameter of three meters is designed for large-range EMI imaging, while a multi-channel digital signal acquisition system is developed for wide-band EMI localization. The located interference source is segmented by the maximum entropy method based on particle swarm optimization, and the modified generalized regression neural network (MGRNN) is applied to identify the EMI frequency effectively by excluding misleading effects of outliers. The experiment which has been completed on our dataset indicates that our approach not only increases accuracy by 5% compared with the standard generalized regression neural network approaches for identification, but also exerts a large-range wide-band localization of the EMI source detection method.
In the research of passive millimetre wave (PMMW) imaging, the focal plane array (FPA) can realize fast, wide-range imaging and detection. However, it has suffered from a limited aperture and off-axis aberration. Thus, the result of FPA is usually blurred by space-variant point spread function (SVPSF) and is hard to restore. In this paper, a polar-coordinate point spread function (PCPSF) model is presented to describe the circle symmetric characteristic of space-variant blur, and a log-polar-coordinate transformation (LPCT) method is propagated as the pre-processing step before the Lucy–Richardson algorithm to eliminate the space variance of blur. Compared with the traditional image deblur method, LPCT solves the problem by analyzing the physical model instead of the approximating it, which has proved to be a feasible way to deblur the FPA imaging system.
Operational amplifiers (op-amps) are widely used in circuit systems. The increasing complexity of the power supply network has led to the susceptibility of the power supply port to electromagnetic interference (EMI) in circuit systems. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the electromagnetic susceptibility (EMS) of op-amps at the power supply port. In this paper, we assessed the effect of EMI on the operational performance of op-amps through the power supply port by a bulk current injection (BCI) method. Firstly, we conducted the continuous sine wave into the power supply port by a current injection probe and measured the change in the offset voltage under EMI. Secondly, we proposed a new method of conducted susceptibility and obtained the susceptibility threshold regularities of the op-amps at the power supply port under the interference of different waveform signals. Our study provided conclusive evidence that EMI reduced the reliability of the op-amp by affecting the offset voltage of op-amps and demonstrated that the sensitivity type of op-amps was peak-sensitive at the power supply port. This study contributed to a deep understanding of the EMS mechanism and guided the design of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of op-amps.
This paper proposes a modeling method to establish a parametric-conducted emission model of a switching model power supply (SMPS) chip through a developed vector fitting algorithm. A common SMPS chip LTM8025 was taken as an example to explain the modeling process. According to the integrated circuit (IC) electromagnetic modeling (ICEM) standard, the parametric conducted emission model is divided into two parts: IC internal activity (ICIA) and IC passive distribution network (ICPDN). The parameters of ICIA are identified by measured data and correlated with key components; an improved vector-fitting algorithm is proposed to solve the fitting problem of ICPDN without phase information. This parametric model can be used with commercial simulation software together to achieve predictions of conducted emissions from power modules. The experiment results show that the maximum and 90% confidence interval of the forecast errors are 9.677 dB and (−4.56 dB, 6.52 dB) respectively, which achieve the international standard requirements and have sufficient accuracy and effectiveness.
A developed phase differences interpolation algorithm in the correlative interferometer is proposed in this paper. Using the phase differences interpolation operation in the follow-up data processing, the improved method could reach a high precision while the process-time is acceptable. Simulation results show that this optimization method works well and has a much higher accuracy than traditional methods.
