Abstract: A system for suppressing radio frequency interference (RFI) or electromagnetic interference (EMI) in a radar or magnetic resonance imaging system that scans target(s) with energy and receives signals that reflect or echo from the target(s). The system involves obtaining RFI/EMI data in the absence of signals of interest in the scanning system using at least one primary antenna and a plurality of reference antennas. The reference antennas are designed and arranged to detect RFI/EMI signals but not signals of interest in the scanning system. Simultaneously a model, e.g. CNN, is trained with the RFI/EMI data to determine the non-linear signal mappings among primary and reference antennas. The trained model is applied to predict the RFI/EMI received by the primary antenna in the presence of signals of interest. Finally, the RFI/EMI signals received by the primary antenna are removed by subtracting out the predicted RFI/EMI.

Abstract: Disclosed is a control method for a hybrid parallel integrated power supply. Under the condition of a 2:1 current ratio between a Si-based inverter and a SiC-based inverter, an optimal power ratio between the two inverters is obtained by reducing a power loss of a fundamental wave component on the Si-based inverter. Based on the fitting for effective values of a harmonic current on the Si-based inverter, an optimal switching frequency of the Si-based inverter and a relationship between a minimum harmonic-current conduction loss and a switching loss under the optimal switching frequency are obtained. Zero sequence components of the current are eliminated through rapid switching of the SiC-based inverter, to suppress harmonic waves.
