Modified Kron's Method (MKME) for EMC optimization, applied to an EMC filter
Abstract
In filter design, inter-component parasitic couplings play a major role in the filter response. Most often, filter designers try to minimize these couplings through a proper implementation of components; conversely, this paper aims to optimize filter responses through a clever use of these couplings. Previous works have been performed to reach such an objective ([1]-[2]), focusing on the study of LC filters with 3D simulation or PSpice techniques. Moreover, the MKME method has been identified as a promising technique in many design cases. The objective of this paper is to introduce the application of the MKME method to an LC filter, to validate its use and benefits, before deploying it for more complex filter structures.
