Minimization of Network Induced Jitter Impact on FPGA-Based Control Systems for Power Electronics through Forward Error Correction

In modular distributed architectures, the adoption of a communication method that is at the same time robust and has a low and predictable latency is of utmost importance in order to support the required system dynamics. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the consequences of the random jitter on m...
