Electromagnetic Interference Cancellation in the Frequency Domain Based on the ASEI-VMD Method

Abstract

In electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing, accurately extracting the radiation emission characteristics from the Equipment Under Test (EUT) in complex electromagnetic environments remains a daunting task. This paper presents a solution by introducing of a frequency-domain electromagnetic interference cancellation method based on the Adaptive Singular Envelope Iterative Variational Mode Decomposition (ASEI-VMD). The process begins with the application of the Adjacent Singular Envelope Entropy Ratio (ASEER) as an evaluation metric to adaptively discern the number of decomposition layers and the penalty factor, allowing the effective decomposition of signals from various channels into modal signals sharing the same center frequency and bandwidth. The singular envelope entropy of each VMD mode is computed as the basis for assessing the efficacy of components in the VMD. This step distinguishes the signals encapsulating the EUT frequency information, which are then isolated for cancellation to retrieve the actual EUT-radiated emission signal. Simulation and experimental data validate the efficacy of this approach. Uniquely, it neither places demands on the testing site nor requires prior conditions for the EUT. The retrieved signal exhibits a correlation of over 96% with the source signal, maintaining a signal-power error below 3 dB. It is suitable for conducting electromagnetic radiation emission testing in complex environments.
