CCMC30 Common Mode Noise Filter

Product information "CCMC30 Common Mode Noise Filter"

CCMC30 Common Mode Noise Filter

Noise filters are nothing new and are often used for transmitting purposes. They are used to prevent unwanted radiation via the coax shielding. It is less known that they can also suppress unwanted radiation when receiving signals, especially when an active antenna is used. However, in this case, the situation is reversed: en route to the antenna, unwanted interferences from electric home appliances can be effectively eliminated.

NTi's Coaxial Common Mode Noise Filter (CCMC30) has been especially optimized for maximum common mode noise rejection of >30dB wide band in the frequency range of 150kHz - 30MHz. With slight limitations a much wider frequency range is covered. In the medium wave range for example a noise suppression of up to 45 dB can be achieved.

This is possible by using a cascaded system of ferrite cores with various frequency dependent material properties, combined with high quality coaxial cable. For outdoor use, the system is housed in a water-proof enclosure. We recommend to connect the CCMC30 as closely as possible to the receiver.With regard to efficient noise suppression, the CCMC 30 is not very much different from the galvanic isolator GI1000. However, the CCMC30 performes down to lowest frequencies including DC voltage, in contrast to the GI1000, which blocks DC voltages and very low frequencies.

The CCMC30 can thus be connected directly to the coax cable which passes the supply voltage or the control signals to the active antenna. A series connection of the GI1000 directly connected to the receiver followed by the CCMC30 right behind the power inserter may result in an even better performance.

CCMC50 Coaxial Common Mode Choke
CCMC50 Common Mode Noise Filter   Noise filters are nothing new and are often used for transmitting purposes. They are used to prevent unwanted radiation via the coax shielding. It is less known that they can also suppress unwanted radiation when receiving signals, especially when an active antenna is used. However, in this case, the situation is reversed: en route to the antenna, unwanted interferences from electric home appliances can be effectively eliminated.   This Coaxial Common Mode Choke (CCMC50) has been especially optimized for maximum common mode noise rejection of >30dB wide band in the frequency range of 500kHz – 50MHz. With slight limitations a much wider frequency range is covered. This is possible by using a cascaded system of ferrite cores with various frequency dependent material properties, combined with high quality PTFE coaxial cable. We recommend to connect the CCMC50 as closely as possible to the receiver.   For the highest demands we still offer the proven Common Mode Noise Filter CCMC30, which is specially optimized for maximum Common mode noise rejection of guaranteed> 30dB broadband in the reception range from 150kHz - 30MHz.   With the CCMC50 a reasonably priced version is now available with the following minor limitations against the CCMC30:   Common mode noise rejection guaranteed> 30dB, broadband in the reception range from 500kHz - 50MHz instead of starting at 150kHz. Starting with the medium wave over short wave up to the 6m amateur radio band, which should be sufficient for most applications. Not suitable for outdoor use because it is not splashproof.   With regard to efficient noise suppression, the CCMC50 is not very much different from the galvanic isolator GI1000. However, the CCMC50 performes down to lowest frequencies including DC voltage, in contrast to the GI1000, which blocks DC voltages and very low frequencies.

MegActiv MA305FT active antenna
MegActiv MA305FT Wide Band Active Antenna Wide frequency range 9kHz – 300MHz Small dimensions Dual Power Supply: 5,5V – 15V Selectable FM band stop filter with low pass function Ideal for traveling, at home or DX-Camps IP3:>typ. +30dBm / IP2:>typ. +50dBm Enlarged and flexible 200mm radiating element The new MegActiv MA305FT is an evolution of the popular MegActiv MA305. In addition to small improvements in electronics, the new MegActiv MA305FT has been equipped with a switchable FM band-stop filter. Thus, disturbing radiation from the FM band between 88 and 108 MHz can be easily minimized The new MegActiv MA305FT close the gap between the Boni-Whip and the GigActiv GA3005 E-Field Antennas. This low noise active antenna, which is produced according to the highest standards, covers the frequency range between 9kHz and 300MHz. With a radiating element of only 22 cm / 8,66 inch it can be erected inconspicuously. It can be powered with 5-15 V DC (max.10mA) and alternatively with the supplied Power unit CPI 1500DP via USB. Flexible FM-band stop filter Based on the well proven Megactiv platform, an additional low pass filter and a FM-band stop filter were integrated which can be activated or deactivated with a jumper. In case of FM-interferences, the FM bandstop filter can be activated with a jumper and so FM signals between 88 MHz and 108 MHz will be attenuated by 25 – 40 dB. Flexible power supply The MegActiv MA305FT can be operated by two different kinds of power sources. It can be powered either by a conventional plug power supply (5,5 / 2,1mm round plug) or via USB with a optional Cable. Powering via USB has the advantage that no external power supply is needed and that the antenna can be operated  autonomously and noise-free with a separate USB PowerBank. The supply voltage range is 5 - 15V DC (10mA max) and thus the antenna is also well suited for portable use. You want to test the MegActiv MA305FT live on air?

Mini adapter cable
Mini adapter cable Very short, flexible adapter cable made of Hyperflex 5 for short connections in top quality. The mini adapter cable is the ideal solution if you either want to connect two devices of different sizes or need a short, flexible coax connection. If you want to connect small SDRs like the Airspy HF+ with accessories like the GI300/or GI1000, there is often a problem: the BNC adapter and the GI300 or GI1000 are much bigger than the HF+ SDR receiver. Now you could use a regular adapter cable, but since the GI300/1000 separates the ground from the line, the cable must be as short as possible, but still flexible enough to bridge the height difference. Also, it is often not a good idea to plug the GI 1000 directly into a device, as the weight could damage the socket. This mini adapter cable consists of a short piece of Hyperflex 5, about 10-14cm long and SMA or BNC connectors. The result is impressive and works very well.

MegaDipol MD300DX Active Dipole
OMG ?! This antenna will amaze you! The MegaDipole 300DX is a broadband active dipole with a maximum upper working frequency of 300 MHz. The dipole reacts to the electrical component (E-Field) of the electromagnetic field and will deliver best results regarding signal strength and SNR (signal -to-noise-ratio) at locations with little or no locally generated interference. Nonetheless, the receiver to be coupled to this antenna should have a high enough dynamic range so that it can effectively process the received signals. In contrast to simple E-field antennas with only one radiating element, the symmetrical construction of the MegaDipole 300DX, will result in almost no negative resonance effects or reflections caused by the coaxial cable. First choice for DXer The MegaDipol MD300DX is the ideal antenna for DXers. Particularly in electrically quiet environments, it can really play to its strength in efficiently amplifying weak signals. In practical operations, a maximum signal-to-noise ratio of 110dB was achieved! (see image ) Wideband With prodigious broadband capability and constant receive characteristics the MegaDipol MD300DX is ideal for wideband receivers, SDR's and WEB-SDR such as KiwiSDR etc. The MegaDipol MD300DX can of course also be operated on all other receivers, including lower-end SDRs and portable world receivers. Dual Power Power Supply The MegaDipol is nominally supplied with 10 - 15V DC (max 40mA), however, it can be operated across a wide variety of supply voltages. The antenna can even be operated with slightly reduced IP values at the same gain with only 5 volts via USB. This offers a significant advantage in that you can supply the MegaDipol on trips away from the radio shack or DX expeditions autonomously, using a low-noise USB power-bank. "The MegaDipol has already attracted a lot of attention with its receive performance at various events such as DX-Camps, field days and in-house exhibitions. In these tests, the MD300DX surpassed the existing antennas usually by 10-15dB in the SNR." You want to test the MegaDipol MD300DX live on air? If you would like to test the MegaDipol MD300DX live, you can now conveniently do this over the Internet with a KIWI SDR. Just click on this Link and you can browse the whole band from 10kHz to 30MHz. The linked KIWI-SDR with a vertical MegaDipol MD300DX is in Ireland and can handle up to 4 users at a time.
