Mobile Station RFI Kits

LINEAR AMPLIFIER RFI KITS

Palomar Engineers has RFI kits for many brand specific linear amplifiers as well as generic RFI kits for both AC powered and DC powered linear amplifiers.

Purpose. These kits are designed to choke common mode currents going into or exiting from your rig. Chokes are supplied for the RF In, RF Out, Relay Cable, and AC/DC power line. Use of the chokes often helps cure high SWR problems between exciter and power rig or between power rig and antenna tuner or direct to antenna. The AC/DC power line choke helps keep common mode current out of the power line which could cause interference to other devices connected to the same power line if not suppressed.

Mobile RFI kits work two ways: They suppress RFI from on board computers and other sensing/control devices in your vehicle that may cause your radio to be a VICTIM of RFI, and second they suppress RFI generated by your radio as a SOURCE which may affect your on board computers or other devices.  Mobile operations of HF radios (1-30 Mhz) tend to experience more RFI effects than VHF/UHF mobile stations.  If you have both HF and VHF installations in your vehicles, you may need both kits.

To address separate solutions we have developed two separate RFI kits: one for HF (1.8-300 MHz) mobile installations and another for VHF/UHF (30-1000 MHz) mobile installations.  Each kit uses the appropriate ferrite mix for the frequency range desired.
