Recent Advances in Electromagnetic Interference Suppression

Abstract

With the increasing popularity and complexity of electronic equipment, the problem of electromagnetic interference (EMI) has become increasingly prominent. Such interference can seriously affect the performance, reliability, and service life of the device and, in severe cases, may cause system failure or communication interruption. Existing EMI suppression techniques are widely used to address this issue, and this paper provides a comprehensive overview. Firstly, it introduces the impact and harm of EMI on us and then presents two forms of EMI, namely conducted EMI and radiated EMI, better to understand the sources and characteristics of these disturbances. Three different EMI filters, the advantages of soft switching compared to hard switching, the working principle of random modulation, and emerging trends in electromagnetic shielding are then analyzed and discussed. Finally, we comprehensively summarize the advantages and disadvantages of the above four methods and point out the possible limitations of each technique in practical applications. We also propose potential future research directions, which will help to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and promote the development of the field of EMI suppression.
