  • Patent number: 9466980
    Abstract: Power supply arrangement for distribution of power from a DC power source having a positive terminal and a negative terminal to at least a first and a second DC power consumer, comprising: a first DC power consumer connected to the negative terminal of the DC power source, a first DC-DC switching power converter connected to the first DC power consumer, and connected to the positive terminal of said DC power source, a second DC power consumer connected to the negative terminal of the DC power source, a second DC-DC switching power converter connected to the second DC power consumer, and connected to the positive terminal of said DC power source, wherein a unit comprising a capacitor connected in parallel with an electrical device is arranged in each of the first and second return lines, wherein said electrical device has a diode function, whereby circulating ground loop currents are prevented.

  • Patent number: 8946935
    Abstract: A method for reducing electromagnetic interference radiated from a power supply arrangement. A plurality of switching mode power supply units are connected to an external device. Each switching mode power supply unit includes a ground point. The radiated electromagnetic interference is reduced by synchronizing a switching frequency of each switching mode power supply unit, such that all of the synchronized switching mode power supply units have an identical switching frequency, thereby reducing the difference in electric potential between the ground points. A corresponding power supply arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20120105273
    Abstract: A radar system including a switching mode power converter. A pulse radar unit is configured to transmit RF pulses with a pulse repetition frequency. The power converter includes a switching controller that is configured to control at least one switching element. The switching controller is configured to receive a frequency modulated input signal. The modulation frequency of the input signal is configured to be derived from the pulse repetition frequency of the radar unit.
