1Reliability

If conventional common mode noise filters are used, then they can filter noise at low frequencies, but they experience increased loss and inefficiency at high frequencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering efficiencyVSAvoidsignal loss
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The filter is divided into multiple insulating layers (first to fourth insulating layers) with coil conductors distributed across different layers. This segmentation allows for optimized magnetic coupling paths and reduced stray capacitance, enabling effective high-frequency noise filtering while maintaining signal integrity

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a planar two-dimensional layout to a three-dimensional laminated structure where coil conductors are arranged on multiple stacked insulating layers. This dimensional change enables better magnetic coupling between coils while minimizing parasitic capacitance, resolving the contradiction between filtering efficiency and signal loss at high frequencies
