description

The paper investigates the harmonic content in DC/DC power converters where the inductor is operated in the non-linear region. This operation is often exploited to use lighter and cheaper inductors; as a drawback, an increasing number of harmonics is noticeable. A theoretical analysis is proposed. It is based on a polynomial model of the inductor used in a boost converter. Results are given by the spectra of the output voltage performed on a circuit prototype.
