2. Electrical Configuration
A number of different electrical configurations are available in EMI filters, including the common types shown opposite. A single element filter (a capacitor or an inductor) theoretically provides an insertion loss characteristic of 20dB per decade, a dual element filter (capacitor and inductor) 40dB per decade whilst a triple element filter(Pi or T configuration) theoretically yields 60dB per decade. In practice, the insertion loss curves do not exactly match the predictions and the data of electrical configuration is made primarily on the source and load impedances and may also be influenced by the level of attenuation required at various frequencies.
C Filter
This is a feedthrough capacitor with low (hardly) inductance. It shunts high frequency noise to ground and is suitable for use with a high impedance source and load.
LC Filter
This is an EMI filter with an inductance element in combination with a capacitor.It is commonly used in a circuit with a low impedance source and a high impedance load(or vice versa).
Pi Filter
This is an EMI filter with 2 capacitors and an inductive element between them. Ideally, it should be used where both source and load impedances are high.
T Filter
This is an EMI filter with 2 series inductive elements separated by one feedthrough capacitor. It is suitable for use where both source and load impedances are low.

3. Source and load impedances
Insertion loss figures are normally publishes for a 50 Ohms source and 50 Ohms load circuit. In practice the impedance values will probably be very different, which could result in either an increase or decrease in insertion loss. The electrical configuration of the filter (the capacitor/inductor combination) should be chosen to optimize the filter performance for that particular source/load impedance situation. An estimate of insertion loss for source and load impendence other than 50 Ohms can be supplied.

4. Bolt Mount EMI Filter (Bolt-in Filter)
Bolt Mount EMI Filters provide increased filtering in HF through MICROWAVE frequency spectrums from 100KHz through 10 GHz. The larger hex size means that much higher values of capacitance are available and that a 125 VAC/400 Hz rating in available in certain values. Also designed for mounting in a tapped bulkhead to with the standard nut and lock washer provided, it is optimum in medium to low impedance circuits where significant amounts of capacitance to ground can be tolerated. In the “L” and “Pi” section versions an internal ferrite bead element provide both inductance and series resistance (lossy characteristic) which improves the insertion loss rolloff to 40dB and 60dB per decade respectively.
Note:
● Pi design offers steeper insertion loss rolloff.
● Features rugged monolithic discoidal capacitor construction.
● Epoxy seal on both ends.

5. Solder Mount EMI Filter
Solder Mount EMI Filter is intended for use as a high reliability alternative a commonly available commercial filter type, Due to its smaller body diameter, capacitance is limited. It does provide effective filtering in the MICROWAVE frequency spectrum from 100MHz through 10GHz.Designed to be soldered into a package,bracket or bulkhead(and maintain hermeticity),it is ideal for high impedance circuits where large capacitance values are not practical.
Alternate lead lengths or special capacitance values are available upon request.
Custom package to bracket assemblies utilizing this feedthru can be furnished to your specifications.

7. Insertion Loss Measurement
Insertion Loss (IL) is a measure of the effectiveness of a filter. It is defined as the ratio of the voltage (E1) across the circuit load without the filter and the voltage (E2) across the load with the filter. Since insertion loss is dependent on the source and load impedance in which the filter is to be used ,IL measurement are defined for a matched 50ohms system. The insertion loss is measure in decibels(dB) and defined as follows:
IL(dB) = 20 log [E1 / E2]
Circuit Impedance VS. Insertion loss
In practical circuit applications the source and load impedances may be quite different from 50ohms.If these impedance are known, we can provide information on the expected Insertion Loss or an estimate can be made using the following formula:
IL(dB)=20log[1+ZsZl / Zt (Zs+ Zl)]
Where Zs=Source impedance in ohms, Zl=Load impedance in ohms,    Zt=Transfer impedance in 50ohms.
Example:
1)System source and load impedance are 100ohms and 600ohms respectively.
2)Selected filter has insertion loss of 50dB at 100 MHz in a 50ohms system.
3)From the IL VS Transfer Impedance curve (right) the transfer impedance is 0.08ohmz.
4)IL = 20log[1+100*600 / 0.08*(100+600)] = 20 log 1072 = 61dB

EMI Filter Dielectric Feature
The capacitor used in Filter just as ceramic EMI filter. It also called Feed-thru Capacitors, Feed through Capacitor, Feed-thru Filter, Feed Through Filter, Feed-thru Condenser, EMI Feedthru because of its physical structure.
Feed-thru Capacitor’s inductance smaller than usual capacitor, so resonance frequency by itself are high meanwhile, it prevents the high frequency signal direct couple from input to output for Feed through design .It supply better depression effect during frequency 1GHz because of low-pass together with high-cut.
It is the most simple of feed through structure that connect internal and external electrode with ceramic form one(C type) or two capacitor(Pi type).The capacitance arrange from 10PF to 4700PF, the rated voltage can achieve 2000VDC.Discoidal Capacitor didn’t show appearent resonance frequency by itself at 10GHz,because it has the coaxial structure.
Feed-thru Capacitor’s dielectric is ceramic, but ceramic capacitor’s capacitance will change by environmental temperature changable, capacitance changable will influence filter’s cut-off coefficient of filter. The ceramic capacitor dielectric fix itself capacitance temperature change. So select the adequate ceramic dielectric is very important usual ceramic dielectric and its capacitance temperature change as follows:

Filter Inductor
Filter inductor is used to ferrite materials, it can get together with the Feed-thru Capacitors conveniently, form the composite filter, in the filed of high characteristic filter, it also use wire-wound inductance. one point: Ferrite materials will appear magnetic saturation in high current, and reduce the filter function.

EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) Filters, also known as RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) Filters, basically are passive electronic devices that are used to suppress conducted interference that is found or a signal or power line. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is unacceptable electromagnetic emissions, natural or man-made, which cause the degradation or malfunction of electronic or electrical equipment. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) is detrimental electrical energy in the frequency range, which is for the specific transmitted radio frequency. Major sources of EMI and RFI include microprocessors, switching power supplies, AC motors, and electrical power cords (which basically act as an antenna).
As mentioned previously, an EMI/RFI Filter is a passive electronic device (comprised of multiple components) for suppressing conducted interference found on any signal or power line. An EMI/RFI Filter will suppress the interference created by other equipment and the interference of the module or system itself, with the desired result being improvement to the immunity from EMI/RFI signals in the surrounding setting.EMI Filters can be found both in plastic as well as metal housings, in stand-alone, desktop or module configurations.
An EMI Filter works by presenting a significantly higher resistance to higher frequency content. In other words, the low pass design of the EMI/RFI Filter (the combination of shunting capacitors and series inductors) results in the restriction/impeding of the flow of high frequency signals, electively shorting it to ground. The final result of the EMI Filter is that it reduces and attenuates the unwanted signal strength, thereby having a minimal effect on other components or devices.EMI Filters are gauged by specifications including insertion loss, voltage rating, and current rating .In addition, there are numerous approval authorities and specifications, including UL, CSA, VDE and military specification.
