The Effect of Spread Spectrum Modulation on Power Line Communications (2023)
Journal Article
Ustun Ercan, S., Pena-Quintal, A., & Thomas, D. (2023). The Effect of Spread Spectrum Modulation on Power Line Communications. Energies, 16(13), Article 5197. https://doi.org/10.3390/en16135197

Interference in Power Line Communication (PLC) is examined in this paper. PLC is a wired communication technology that provides communication and data transmission over the existing electrical network. It uses the electrical wiring in buildings or th...

On Spread Spectrum for DC Grids: Low-Frequency Conducted EMI Mitigation and Signal Integrity Disruption in Serial Communication Links (2023)
Journal Article
Pena-Quintal, A., Sayed, W. E., Sumner, M., Ercan, S. U., Greedy, S., Thomas, D., & Smolenski, R. (2023). On Spread Spectrum for DC Grids: Low-Frequency Conducted EMI Mitigation and Signal Integrity Disruption in Serial Communication Links. IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, 65(4), 1027-1036. https://doi.org/10.1109/TEMC.2023.3273111

This article addresses the effects on nearby communication systems when spread spectrum modulation techniques are used for a dc-dc power converter. These interactions can be found in modern smart grids and automotive power networks in which the combi...

Impact of Pseudo-Random Modulation on Measured Conducted EMI (2022)
Journal Article
Pena-Quintal, A., Loschi, H., Smolenski, R., Sumner, M., Thomas, D., Greedy, S., …Leferink, F. (2022). Impact of Pseudo-Random Modulation on Measured Conducted EMI. IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Magazine, 11(2), 84-92. https://doi.org/10.1109/memc.2022.9873829

This paper demonstrates that using conventional frequency scanning methods for the evaluation of conducted electromagnetic interference generated by DC/DC converters can give misleading results when pseudo-random modulation is used as part of the con...
