This thesis is focused on the design and implementation of a hybrid integrated EMC filter for aerospace application. The work performed in this thesis is carried out in the framework of FRAE project (Research Foundation for Aviation and Space) titled FEMINA (Electromagnetic Filtering and Materials for the INtegration in Aerospace). To protect the network board from both conducted and radiated electromagnetic interferences and to meet the standards for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and especially the aviation standard "DO160F [150 KHz, 30 MHz]," an EMC filter is absolutely necessary to the aircraft's electronic power supply board. The disturbance levels generated by this type of equipment require careful design to ensure the filtering of parasitic currents that propagate in common mode (CM) and differential mode (DM). Therefore, the first part of the work is devoted to the electromagnetic modeling of the power supply board used as support for this study. This modeling is based on a "black box" representation. The identified model is composed of equivalent disturbance sources and impedances in CM and DM. This first step leads to define the electrical structure of the filter and the component values. To achieve the required performances, an optimized hybrid EMC filter is proposed in this work- hybrid means an association of a purely passive part and active filter. This association will make the most advantage of each filtering technology. The active filter can handle disturbances at low frequencies and the passive part is designed to the high frequencies. Full integration within the printed circuit board (PCB) of passive parts, capacitive and inductive, is proposed in the second part of this work. After choosing the magnetic and dielectric materials that best meet the defined specifications in the first part, several integration tests on the PCB have been made. Considering the fragility of magnetic materials (ferrites), a planar geometry that meets the specifications has been proposed. The main advantages of the proposed integration are the reduction of inductive and capacitive parasitic effects lead to an increase the attenuation at high frequencies and to increase the compactness of the EMC filter. We demonstrate that the realizing of integrated passive filter reduces the CM and DM interference in the frequency range extending from 2.5 MHz to 30MHz. To compensate the differential mode interference voltages up to 2.5 MHz, a new topology of an active filter is proposed. In this structure, the injection of disturbances compensation voltage is performed using an auxiliary winding added to the coupled windings of integrated passive filter. The active filter components are mounted on the upper side of PCB (SMD components) in which the passive filter is integrated. The assembly of the integrated hybrid filter (4 x 5 x 0.4 cm3) reduces the CM and DM disturbances in the frequency range [150 kHz, 30 MHz]. Thanks to the integration and optimization of the active filter topology, the hybrid filter volume is 75% lower than that of the former EMC filter used at the input of the converter (4 x 5 x 1.6 cm3) while maintaining a high efficiency.
