Power Line Filter Design for Switched Mode Power Supplies, 2nd Edition (Electrical Engineering)

While communications filter design is extremely well-studied and documented, power line filter design, where the source and load impedances are variable, has generally been ignored. Attempting to apply communications filtering to power lines inevitably ends in failure. This book is designed to give engineers the tools and skills they need to intelligently approach power line filter design. The book begins with an intuitive explanation of filtering. It then proceeds with a detailed description of graphical attentuation calculation methodology, followerd by the concepts of power line filter-power supply interaction. Finally the text deals with modeling, component selection and component integration. This book should be of interest to power supply manufactures and designers; filter designers; power system designers; EMI test or mitigation engineers; EMC engineers and consultants; test engineers; postgraduate students studying power supply filter design and EMI.
