Noise Suppression by Common Mode Choke Coils

Common mode choke coils work as a simple wire against differential mode current (signal), while they work as an inductor against common mode current (noise).

Example

Common-mode current isolation

- for 50 Ohm RG-316 coax cable 10 turns

Insert LOSS of Common-mode current choke (CMCC)

- for 50 Ohm RG-316 coax cable 10 turns

KIT

  • SO-239 connector

  • F connector
