Real World HF Performance ofCommon Mode Filter Solutions
Popular EMI filters include common mode chokes (CMC), ferrite beads, and chip inductors. Data sheet characterization are typically 50Ω impedance measurements however a product’s I/O cables typically exhibit antenna impedances of 150Ω. Mechanical construction of CMCs also introduce noise mode conversion which is rarely characterized in their specifications. These issues often result in non-compliance or inadequate compliance margins.
The following excerpts represent a small portion of a comprehensive study recently completed on this subject, the full study is outlined at the end of this document.
