Ouestion 4. — Fig. 4 shows the measured input impedances of a buck converter eguipped with an input LC
filter. The output impedance of the LC filter in Fig. 4 shows the typical freguency-domain
behaviour of a parallel resonant circuit.

a) Estimate the output-voltage-loop crossover freguency based on the freguency-domain
behaviour of the closed-loop and open-loop input impedances in Fig. 4 (2pts).

b) Is the converter-LC-filter system stable? Justify your answer based on the impedance
behaviour in Fig. 4 (2 pts).

c) What is the approximate value of the converter ideal input impedance (Z;,..) according
to Fig. 4. Justify your answer (2 pts).

Ouestion 5. — Fig. 5 shows the typical input filter structure of the voltage-fed converters, which is
characterized by four transfer functions. Compute those transfer functions by utilizing only
circuit theory. Each correct transfer functions will give 1 pts and the identification of the
correct set would give 2 pts. Only the named method would give the points. 1f other
technigues are used then the outcome would be zero.
