The effect of frequency modulation on a power switching converter electromagnetic interference (EMI) attenuation is examined in this paper. A method known as “modified sawtooth” is applied for EMI attenuation in a boost converter and it is optimized in such a way to reduce EMI more effectively. The method is also verified experimentally by the use of a low power boost converter controlled via an arbitrary waveform generator. EMI attenuation up to 15 dB is achieved after using modified sawtooth modulating waveform.
