This study presents a practical characterization of input-parallel-connected converters using a common input filter. By measuring four transfer functions, we analyze the system's interactions and provide experimental results that support our findings. Our modeling approach involves internal converter dynamics and a two-port representation to observe system stability and transient performance. With a focus on the sensitivity of converters to external impedances, we detail key interactions and mechanisms that may cause instability or performance degradation.
