OCF antennas are very convenient as they will allow multiple bands of operation with a simple wire antenna which is fed off center with a 4:1 OCF Current balun with built in feed line choke,
RFI/EMI Solutions from KHz to GHz
The Ferrite Ring Combo Pack is a convenient solution for troubleshooting RFI/EMI from unknown frequencies or multiple frequencies that require multiple suppression mixes. Included in this combo pack are ten 1.4″ OD/.9″ ID ring toroids as follows:
Mix 77 effective from .1-50 MHz including AM Broadcast band – quantity: 5
Mix 43 effective from 25-250 MHz for general purpose – quantity: 5
Mix 61 effective from 200-2000 MHz for cell phone, WIFI, HDTV, Cable TV interference – quantity: 5
The ring toroids are useful for AC/DC common mode choking with multiple turns as shown below
The ring toroids can also be used on coax or signal lines as shown below:
For RFI/EMI wrap as many turns as possible for higher choking (under 30 MHz). For over 30 MHz, 1-3 turns is usually sufficient due the to capacitive effect of multiple turns reducing choking effect.
