In this paper, we present a technique to characterize common mode chokes at high frequencies that only requires a measurement, which can be performed with a spectrum analyzer with the tracking generator. This technique is based upon a theoretical modal analysis of the common mode choke as a four-ports device. This analysis demonstrates that the...

This work presents a technique to measure the attenuation of differential mode noise provided by common mode chokes. The proposed setup is a simpler alternative to the balanced setup commonly employed to that end, and its main advantage is that it avoids the use of auxiliary circuits (baluns). We make use of a modal analysis of a high-frequency...
