Abstract

Spreading the signal spectrum is a widely used technique in telecommunication applications. Variable-frequency and spread spectrum modulation methods can also be utilized in power electronic applications to improve electro-magnetic compatibility (EMC). This paper gives an overview to variable-frequency techniques in power electronics with experimental results.
