DIODE NOISE SUPPRESSION STUDY.
Abstract
This test program was conducted using MIL-I-6181B as a basic test setup guide in order to have a standard method for the interference measurement. Three specially designed power transformers were constructed for these tests: two single phase and one three phase. The first tests were conducted to determine the effect of the stabilization network upon the readings obtained by the noise meter. The next test was to determine the attenuation effect of an electrostatic shielded transformer. A very limited test was conducted comparing the radio noise generated by similar silicon and germanium diodes. Numerous tests were conducted with power supplies using half wave rectifiers and various types of silicon diodes under applicable voltage and current loads. The same extensive tests were used with full wave and bridge rectifier circuits. These power supplies were tested with DC output voltages up to 400 volts DC and operated with loads up to 500 milliamperes. (Author)
