Conventional control schemes that have evolved to counteract the effects of EMI generally tend to have greater design complexity, greater error rates, poor control accuracy, and large amounts of harmonic distortion. In order to overcome these constraints, this paper introduces an intelligent and advanced control approach founded on the signal randomization principle. The suggested approach controls the switching activity of a DC\u2013DC converter by dynamically tuned parameters like duty cycle, switching frequency, and signal modulation. A boost interleaved topology is utilized to maximize the current distribution and minimize ripple, and an innovative space vector-dithered sigma delta modulation (SV-DiSDM) scheme is proposed for cancelling harmonics via a digitalized control action. The used modulation scheme can effectively distribute the harmonic energy across a larger range of frequencies to largely eliminate EMI and boost the stability of the system. High-performance analysis is conducted by employing significant measures like total harmonic distortion (THD), switching frequency deviation, switching loss, and distortion product. Verification against conventional control models confirms the increased efficiency, less EMI, and greater signal integrity of the proposed method, and hence, it can be a viable alternative for EMI-aware power electronics applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/a18050288","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]],"date-time":"2025-05-19T05:37:13Z","timestamp":1747633033000},"page":"288","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Innovative Control Techniques for Enhancing Signal Quality in Power Applications: Mitigating Electromagnetic Interference"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"N.","family":"Manoj Kumar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Panimalar Engineering College, Poonamalle, Chennai 600123, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0870-6262","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yousef","family":"Farhaoui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IMAI Laboratory, T-IDMS Faculty of Sciences and Techniques of Errachidia, Moulay Ismail University of Mekn\u00e8s, Meknes 50050, Morocco"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Vimala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, PSNA College of Engineering and Technology, Dindigul 624622, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Anandan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Vel Tech Rangarajan Dr. Sagunthala R&D Institute of Science and Technology, Chennai 600062, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Aiswarya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karpagam Institute of Technology, Coimbatore 641105, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Radhika","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore 641008, Tamil Nadu, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2134","DOI":"10.1109\/TEMC.2021.3084896","article-title":"EMI Suppression of a DC\u2013DC Converter Using Predictive Pulsed Compensation","volume":"63","author":"Beltle","year":"2021","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
