    This paper proposes a noise reduction technology for a specific frequency band that uses the pulse coding controlled method to automatically set the notch frequency in DC-DC switching converters of communication equipment. For reducing the power levels at the frequency and its harmonics in the switching converter, we often use a frequency-modulated clock. This paper investigates a technology that prevents modulated clock frequency noise from spreading into protected frequency bands; this proposed noise reduction technology does not distribute the switching noise into some specified frequency bands. The notch in the spectrum of the switching pulses is created by the Pulse Width Coding (PWC) method. In communication devices, the noise in the receiving signal band must be as small as possible. The notch frequency is automatically set to the frequency of the received signal by adjusting the clock frequency using the equation Fn = (P+0.5)Fck. Here Fn is the notch frequency, Fck is the clock frequency, and P is a positive integer that determines the noise spectrum location. Therefore, simply be setting the notch frequency to the received signal frequency can suppress the noise present. We confirm with simulations that the proposed technique is effective for noise reduction and notch generation. Also we implement a method of automatic switching between two receiving channels. The conversion voltage ratio in the pulse width coding method switching converter is analyzed and full automatic notch frequency generation is realized. Experiments on a prototype circuit confirm notch frequency generation.
