Energy efficiency is becoming one of the most important topics in electronics. Among others, wide band-gap semiconductors can raise and lead to shrinking volumes power conversion systems. As different markets have regulations that require designs, it necessary cope with a large variety similar designs. By using effective modeling simulation strategies, efforts building these variants be diminished, re-designs avoided. In this paper, we present universally valid way come reasonable results...
Abstract Electronic based systems (EBS) tend to become smaller in size while at the same time their functionality, complexity, and operating frequencies increase. Therefore, accurate broadband characterization of electric behavior components such EBS is becoming more important for first‐time right designs, especially electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) interference (EMI) issues. Although many manufacturers provide up to, example, 8.5 GHz, there still a lack information about parasitic...
