2021年9月29日 · I tried snap-on beads and an air choke wound around a coke bottle (both helped but did not fix the problem), and this morning I added a common-mode choke. This one is 12 turns of RG-8x wound around a circular ferrite core (mix 31) and received some interesting results.

2021年9月29日 · Common Mode Current on your coax can really mess up causing RFI and interference in the shack. In addition, you could also be receiving unwanted interference on the coax outer shield. In this video I show how I built myself an easy CMC choke using a …

2021年9月29日 · Huge, the one in the video is comprised of two ~100 Ohms transmission lines in parallel to produce 50 Ohms while at the same time reduces the total of common-mode rejection in half. The same number with coax will be twice better as well as will heath the ferrite less compared to chokes wound with two wires.

2021年9月29日 · I have made Peter’s 1:1 common mode choke and his 4:1 and 9:1 baluns testing as he does in the videos. They certainly test out ok. I have also wound coax common mode chokes which have tested out. Frankly I have not noticed any difference between the two common mode chokes. As to the coax wound chokes, I have to say that I have seen two designs.

2021年9月29日 · But (a) RG58 is pretty poor coax, even at HF. RG8-X and similar are much better quality, for much the same ballpark price. (b) I would never wind a toroid with coax. The additional 'connector losses' mentioned are absolutely miniscule at HF. If you want to eliminate common mode without cutting/interrupting the coax, just use a series of split ...

2021年9月29日 · The choke can be wound onto the existing cable -- no connectors needed. ...otherwise should yield the same results in choking. One advantage of the wire vs coax is that the coax has a limit on radius bend / diameter and the center conductor can migrate and short out to the shield, especially with foam coax, when wound too tightly.
Are antennas altered in the presence of carbon fiber masts?
2021年3月15日 · The N9TAX antenna used in the test has a reasonably effective choke at the feed point that I've verified suppresses common mode tendencies by about 10 dB. I guess I could add another one 1/4 wave down for the coup de grâce, but that will have to wait for another time.
