Choice of softmagnetic materialChoice of softmagnetic material

Main requirement on a EMC filter choke:

High impedance Z(f), f = 150kHz to 30MHz

Z(f) = ω * L(f) = 2π * f * L(f)

L(f) = AL* n2 with AL = µ0 * µr(f) * Afe / lf

Z(f) = 2π * f * n2 * µ0 * µr(f) * Afe / lfe

n: number of turns µr : permeability Afe : Iron cross section
