Abstract
A comparative investigation on the use of random modulation
schemes for DC/DC power converters is presented. The modulation schemes
under consideration include randomized pulse position modulation,
randomized pulsewidth modulation (PWM) and randomized carrier-frequency
modulation with fixed and variable duty cycle. The paper emphasizes the
suitability and applicability of each scheme in DC/DC power converters.
Issues addressed include the effectiveness of randomness level on
spreading the dominating frequencies that normally exist in
constant-frequency PWM schemes, and the low-frequency power spectral
density (PSD) of each scheme. The validity of the analyses is confirmed
experimentally by using a DC/DC buck converter operating in the
continuous conduction mode. The PSD of the output under each scheme is
presented and compared
