Solution Overview

Problem

Current electromagnetic wave shielding filters, particularly low pass and band pass filters, are limited in effectively blocking all frequency bands while passing only desired signals, as they struggle to shield high-frequency signals and are prone to damage from external electromagnetic pulses, requiring frequent component replacement.

Innovation Solution

An electromagnetic wave shielding filter utilizing an elliptical magnetic core with high magnetic permeability, converting high-frequency signals to differential-mode signals, and using a high-conductivity material for shielding, which allows desired high-frequency signals to pass while blocking common-mode electromagnetic waves across the entire frequency band, eliminating the need for capacitive and inductive elements and reducing the risk of damage.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Object-affected harmful factors

If a low pass filter is used to block high frequency bands for electromagnetic wave shielding, then shielding performance is improved, but desired high frequency signals cannot pass through

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The filter is segmented into multiple resonant circuits, each tuned to specific frequency bands. This allows different frequency components to be handled separately - some blocked, others passed - resolving the contradiction between shielding and signal transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the filter have different characteristics - some sections are designed for shielding specific frequency bands while other sections allow desired signals to pass. This local differentiation enables simultaneous shielding and signal transmission.

AI summary

An electromagnetic wave shielding filter is configured in a magnetic field transmission scheme, not in a low pass filter or band pass filter scheme, and thus allows a desired signal to pass, while maintaining unintended electromagnetic waves shielded.The present embodiment relates to an electromagnetic wave shielding filter for high-frequency communication, having a structure in which an elliptical ferrite magnetic core is formed inside the filter, a primary coil and a secondary coil are installed at both ends of the magnetic core, and then a shielding and penetration unit is formed of a shielding material on the elliptical magnetic field core, so that a signal from the primary coil is transmitted in the form of a magnetic field to the secondary coil, and the other unintended common-mode components are eliminated.
