EMI receiver block diagram From he sandard we know RBW, herefore we choose f m fm < RBW: he EMI receiver is no able o disinguish individual sideband harmonics, so, several harmonics excie he receiver simulaneously fm > RBW: he EMI receiver is able o measure each individual sideband harmonic waning o keep measured peaks a he minimum, we choose fm > RBW 11/27/2018 franco.fiori@polio.i 10
On balance - Waning o chea he EMI receiver f m mus be greaer han RBW - An excessive incremen of Δf sw can affec he conrol circui especially when muliple loops are implemened 10 < Δf sw f m < 20 is a good compromise o address boh issues - The specral overlap, which akes place for n > n ovlp limis is effeciveness a high frequency - The mehod is no effecive or even dangerous in resonan or quasi resonan DC-DC converers 11/27/2018 franco.fiori@polio.i 11
