Filtering for EMC

     The four papers listed below are old, but they still reflect the state of the art. They were presented at the Zürich and Evian symposia on EMC, between 1987 and 1991. They belong to a series of six papers which we have published on our research on the design of power-line filters. The results of these studies have later been widely used for the creation of the Filtrexpert software, and in the course of engineering assignments.

     The contents of these papers is relevant for those who wish to buy or design high performance power-line filters. Note that the patent [P1] concerns the filter studied in the article [B2] .

     Two more recent articles provide a summary of the state of the art relating to the characterization of power-line filters in the worst-case, and to input impedance domains:
