Hi All
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask. Feel free to point me to a more suitable place for my questions.
I have an antenna connected to a 13.56MHz RF signal and would like to add a ferrite core to the cable from the antenna to the device to filter out any noise coming from the environment.
How do i determine the appropriate specs for the ferrite core?
That's the ISM frequencies just below the amateur radio 20 meter band, so anything that works for 14 MHz (20m) will probably work just fine for 13.56 MHz.
In general, 31 mix is a good choice for HF - it's suitably lossy at those frequencies.? You might check out K9YC's choke cookbooks and other writeups..
You're presumably at low power for something like a badge reader, so you probably aren't as interested in low loss transmitter designs.
*RFI, Ferrites, and Common Mode Chokes For Hams <>**Most recent update April 2019.*This tutorial is directed specifically to RFI in ham radio applications. It includes an extended discussion of the use of common mode chokes in antenna systems and for suppression of RFI. A chapter on audio and computer interconnections in ham stations shows how to make bulletproof connections between a computer sound card and ham rigs for SSB, RTTY, PSK31, and SO2R contesting without expensive interface boxes, using nothing more than simple cables with the right connectors on each end. There's also a chapter on grounding and bonding.
