The wide bandgap semiconductor increases the power density of switching power supplies while bringing about serious common-mode (CM) electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. Compared to conventional passive EMI filters (PEFs), active EMI filters (AEFs) cancel the noise by sensing and injecting, which significantly reduces the volume of the filter. However, there is a challenge in simultaneously achieving high transient voltage immunity and compact design in the sensing part. Moreover, the high-frequency insertion loss is limited largely due to stray parameters and insufficient bandwidth of active components in the injecting part. To overcome these challenges, this paper presents three key contributions: First, a novel Rogowski coil CM current sensor with lead compensation is proposed. The multivariate function of mutual inductance of the coil is derived and used to reduce the size of sensor while maintaining high sensitivity and high transient voltage immunity. Second, a high-order lead compensation network (LCN) is adopted to counteract the phase lag of active components at high frequencies. Third, the degradations of the injecting part caused by stray parameters are analyzed, and a high-frequency insertion loss enhanced injecting circuit is proposed to mitigate the degradation by closed-loop variable gain control (VGC). The effectiveness of the proposed AEF has been verified on a 3kW inverter experimental platform. With a small size of 38mm*23mm, the proposed AEF achieves an insertion loss of 22.8dB-30.3dB at high frequencies (10MHz-30MHz) and a maximum of 44.7dB at 1.4MHz.
