Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A converter is provided as a power conversion device. The converter includes a switching circuit that performs switching on the basis of switching signals; and a control circuit that changes switching frequency of switching signals in a predetermined pattern with the elapse of time, and repeats the changes in switching frequency in the predetermined pattern at every repetition time. The converter sets the repetition time such that a repetition frequency that is the inverse of the repetition time does not coincide with a frequency band that can be demodulated as sound by a radio that receives radio broadcasts.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A power conversion device comprising: a switching circuit provided with a switching element that performs switching operations for power conversion on a basis of a switching frequency of a switching signal provided to the switching element; and a control circuit that controls the switching signal such that the switching frequency is repeatedly changed, in each repetition time, in accordance with a predetermined pattern of changes in frequency, the predeter…
