Validating Solid State Transformers with Typhoon HIL

Solid-state transformers and electric vehicle (EV) chargers face different electromagnetic compatibility challenges because of how they convert power and connect to the grid. In this article, Jeff Shepard examines the sources of conducted and radiated EMI in both systems. He also explains how operating environments and isolation requirements affect the standards designers must follow.

📡 Circulators vs Isolators: What's the Difference? At first glance, circulators and isolators look similar—and in fact, an isolator is essentially a circulator with one port terminated. However, their purposes are different. 🔄 RF Circulator A 3-port passive non-reciprocal device that routes RF energy in one direction: Port 1 → Port 2 Port 2 → Port 3 Port 3 → Port 1 Common Uses 🔄Duplexers Radar systems T/R switching Test setups High-power RF systems ➡️ RF Isolator A 2-port passive non-reciprocal device that allows RF power to pass in one direction while absorbing reflected power. Common Uses Protecting power amplifiers Reducing VSWR effects Preventing oscillations Improving system stability Thank You 🙏 #RFEngineering #MicrowaveEngineering #Circulator #Isolator #RFDesign #RFComponents #WirelessCommunication #RadarSystems #SignalIntegrity #HighFrequency #ElectronicsEngineering #EngineeringInsights

Rohde & Schwarz has introduced a new option for three-phase power analysis, that brings power analyzer-style insights directly to its MXO series oscilloscopes. Designed for engineers developing and debugging three-phase AC systems, the option delivers more than numerical results alone. It combines key power measurements with full waveform visibility, enabling users to quickly correlate power behavior with real signal events and troubleshoot issues faster. Read our press release to find out how this software can help with testing and debugging three phase power systems, drives and inverters: https://lnkd.in/deidSD9H

Below is an Exciting new option to support Power Analysis with the Rohde & Schwarz MXO series Oscilloscopes. With the addition of Zimmer and our new Precision Power Analyzer Portfolio we have options to support these measurement requirements.

A TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode in a Battery Management System (BMS) acts as a fast-reacting safety guard, clamping voltage spikes, shunting excess current to ground, and protecting sensitive chips like the Analog Front End (AFE) and microcontrollers.Key Applications in a BMSVoltage Sensing Lines: Placed between battery cells and monitoring ICs to block induced spikes from switching loads.Communication Ports: Shield CAN bus, RS485, or UART lines from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electromagnetic interference (EMI).Power Supply Inputs: Protect auxiliary voltage inputs against sudden load dumps or high-energy transients.Relay Coils: Placed in parallel across contactor coils to absorb reverse electromotive force (EMF) when turned off.Selection CriteriaReverse Stand-off Voltage (\(V_{r}\)): Must be higher than the normal operating line voltage.Clamping Voltage (\(V_{c}\)): Must be lower than the maximum safe rating of the protected integrated circuit pins.Junction Capacitance: Must be low (especially for high-speed communication lines) to prevent signal distortion.

Reliability is proven on the test bench—not in the datasheet alone. For a 6–18 GHz, 200 W RF power amplifier platform, the key question is not only: “Can it reach the required power?” It is also: “Can it remain stable under the agreed operating and load conditions?” A useful validation package may include: • test bench configuration • output power across frequency • gain flatness • VSWR / reflected power behavior • temperature versus operating time • protection status and recovery logic This is why CorelixRF uses a proof-first engineering approach: product, instruments, curves, and test conditions shown together. Which validation result matters most in your project—power, gain flatness, thermal stability, or VSWR protection? Send frequency range + required power + signal mode for a preliminary platform and validation recommendation. #Validation #RFTest #Reliability #MicrowaveEngineering #CorelixRF
