Facility power-line electromagnetic interference (EMI) filters are used to provide radio frequency(RF) isolation between dedicated power distribution services and noise sensitive local power distribution systems. This type of EMI filters generally needs a high current capacity and, in some special applications, a high insertion loss of a minimum 100dB from 14kHz through 10GHz per MIL-STD 220 is required. This paper deals with an analysis and design of a wideband facility power-line EMI filter with the above requirements. The characteristics of the inductor and capacitor at high frequencies are investigated. The characteristics and design method of the facility EMI filter with a high order LC network are also presented. The prototype filter is finally implemented and its performance is verified from the experimental results.

We proposed the Power-line EMI filter for vehicle-shelter which have attenuation performance of 100 dB from 10kHz to 1 GHz. The inductor and capacitor for EMI filter design was charactenzed using circuit simulator and then, we experimentally verified 100 dB attenuation for the conducted emission noise through power line. This results will be used for the application systems of protection weapons against EMI attacks as well as vehicle-shelter.

This paper investigates impulsive noise from a pole transformer in low voltage distribution system for power line communication. EMI noise from the pole transformer is indicated from the experiment. The noise has certain characteristics because it is caused by partial discharge. The noise level is above -35dBm without a filter. Therefore, the filter which is made of ferrite is used in order to eliminate the noise. the noise filters should be applied to both the phase line and the neutral line. Otherwise, It is likely to have little overall impact on elimination of noises. the performance of filter is verified with various experiments. In conclusion, the equivalent circuit of power line communication including noise source is described as a lumped circuit.

This paper covers the importance of a dedicated Power Line Filter implementation against HEMP(High altitude ElectroMagnetic Pulse) threats caused by high altitude nuclear detonations. As the PCI test results for E1 short pulse with 2500[A], only HEMP filter obtained the required residual current around 8[A], but others didn't meet below 10[A] on MIL-STD-188-125 PCI regulation. Consequently, the development of a dedicated power line filter turned out to be a essential element in order to protect the power related system against HEMP transient.

In many cases, ac line EMI filters are designed by trial and error method. Thus, designing a filter is a time-consuming process. To overcome the problem, the newly analytical design procedure is proposed in this paper. Using the modeling circuit of each filter components, the filter design is carried out applicable to both common-mode (CM) and differential-mode (DM). These are verified through the experimental results.

Since high-speed train is a dynamic load in which electric power is externally supplied, contact loss between the catenary and pantograph occurs. This phenomena including vibrations generates frequently irregular arcs, which, in turn causes EMI. Thus it is very important to develop the approach to reduce arc phenomenon by contact loss, as speed of electric railway vehicle increases. In case of an electric railway vehicle using electrical power, compared with diesel rolling stock, Power Line Disturbance(PLD) such as harmonics, transient voltage and current, Electromagnetic Interference(EMI), and dummy signal injection etc usually occur. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a contact wire and a pantograph suppling electrical power to high-speed train are investigated with an electrical response point. To implement power line disturbance induced by contact loss phenomenon for high speed train operation, a hardware simulator which considers contact loss between contact wire and pantograph as well as contact wire deviation is developed. It is confirmed by the experiments that contact loss effect is largely dependent on voltage conditions when the contact loss occurs. Also, a passive filter is designed to reduce power disturbance and the designed system is verified by experiment.

In this paper, we studied on improvement for radiated EMI of USB power line of cable. it is made by using wireless video access point system for confirming the phenomenon of radiated EMI from cable. then, we make sure that the limit exceed through the initial measurement of radiated EMI limit criteria in comparison to about 3 [dBuV/m]~15 [dBuV/m]. after that we confirmed the resonance in power line of cable through measurement of s-parameters. so, we confirmed the relation radiated EMI and power line of cable resonance and we reduced radiated EMI in power line of cable through a capacitor and low pass-band filter using the technique of power networks management. in conclusion, we suggested how to reduce power line of cable resonance applied for the improved method. and we confirmed that suggested reduction method is suitable through testing radiated EMI. the result of radiated EMI reduction limit criteria 40[dBuV/m]~47[dBuV/m] in comparison to about 3 [dBuV/m]~20 [dBuV/m].

Conducted noise in power line contains both the common mode(CM) and differential mode(DM) noise. These two modes of noise are caused by different noise sources and paths. Therefore, CM/DM noise must be deal with individually in EMI filter. In this paper the technique to separate power line noise is presented, which can be used to measure both the CM and the DM noise from total generated noise. Also, noise-separator is designed and experimental results showed 30 dB above of separation performance in 10 kHz~10 MHz.

In this paper EMI problems with induction motor drive system using multi-level inverters are investigated. The high power multi-level inverter usually operates with low switching frequency and produces large noises. Generally, EMI consists of the conduction component through source lines and emission component emitted to the space. This conduction component can be classified to the common-mode between source line and ground, and the normal-mode between lines. The EMI filters for the induction motor drive system are designed and implemented to reduce EMI noise. Finally the designed system is verified by the experiment. The experimental results show that both the normal mode and common mode noises are greatly reduced compared to the system without filters.

In this paper, we propose the methods not only to eliminate ELF(Extremely Low Frequency) EMI(Electro-Magnetic Interference) noice for extending recognition distance, but also to utilize the the PLN for detecting starting instance of a hand gesture using electric potential sensor. First, we measure strength of electric field generated in the smart devices such as TV and phone, and minimize EMI through efficient arrangement of the sensors. Meanwhile, we utilize the 60 Hz PLN to extract the starting point of hand gesture. Thereafter, we eliminate the PLN generated in the smart device and circuit of sensors. And then, we shield the sensors from an electric noise generated from devices. Finally, through analyzing the frequency components according to the gesture of target, we use the low pass filter and the Kalman filter for elimination of remaining electric noise. We analyze and evaluate the proposed ELF-band EMI eliminating method for non-contact remote sensing of the EPS(Electric Potential Sensor). Combined with a detecting technique of gesture starting point, the recognition distance for gestures has been proven to be extended to more than 3m, which is critical for real application.
