The simplest, most cost effective feed line choke is a ferrite ring installed as shown in the picture (at the antenna feed point) to stop feed line radiation or at the radio end of the coax to suppress common mode coax noise current on the coax braid.
Great choke for log periodics, HF beams, Transceiver/Amp isolation
Improves antenna pattern by preventing your dipole from becoming a tripole
Suppresses pesky coax braid radiation and RFI
Reduces coax braid common mode current up to -40 dB ( 6 “S” units) on receive
Use one choke for each antenna feed line
Add a double female barrel connector to act as an “extension” of the existing coax.
Snap On Sleeve Chokes
Connector already on the cable? Don’t want to remove it? Use Snap On Ferrite split bead kits that clamp over the cable.
SNAP ON Sizes for Heliax and Coax Cable
Shown in the table are the SLIP ON and SNAP ON products for various popular Heliax and coax cables. These are the correct size for making common mode chokes for coaxial cable using either Snap On ferrite beads.
