Abstract

Light-emitting diode (LED) lamps are becoming popular in a wide range of applications, due to low power, high efficiency, and low maintenance. To achieve high efficiency in energy, transfer in the LED driver, a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) topology is applied. SMPS operates at a constant frequency; it generates significant emission in some of the frequencies through conducted and radiated mechanisms. Several solutions are proposed to mitigate the EMI (electromagnetic interference), such as converter design, component selection, EMI filtering, and spread spectrum techniques. Spread-spectrum is a cheap and efficient solution in the conducted emission mitigation. This research performs conducted emission mitigation by modifying the switching on the LED driver using chaotic signals. The Lorenz equation was selected to produce chaotic signals. The effect of EMI caused by the chaotic signal has been analyzed toward the performance of the system, compared with performance when periodic signals modulated it. Lorenz’s injection signals have reduced distribution over broader bandwidth compared to other injection signals. The average EMI reduction produced by Lorenz signal was the highest compared with other modulated signals of 10.63 dB.
