  • This video discusses the basics of ferrite beads, and their uses for basic filtering applications. It discusses and demonstrates how ferrites act as resistors at high frequencies, and how this is used for EMI/RFI Suppression, improved power supply filtering, parasitic oscillation suppression, and others. The affect of the frequency dependent resistive characteristic of the ferrite beads is demonstrated by showing its effect on a swept RF signal, its effect on the rise/fall time of a digital signal, and its effectiveness of eliminating parasitic oscillation. Here are some links to the other videos mentioned in this video:

    Thank you, you made me a better engineer than I was 10 minutes ago

      Hello dear Sir. Could you please tell is it possible to check it with "multimeter"? If yes how?

    • @Floyd..B

      ​@@SingTodayi No, you need at least an oscilloscope. Multimeters are not precise enough and they don't go high enough in terms of frequency.

    Your videos should be part of every theory lesson in schools and colleges. It is fine to explain it on a chalkboard but to actually see it on test equipment makes the theory sooo much readily understandable. I'm a visual learner as are many others, wish the internet and instructor/techs like you were around 40 odd years ago when I was desperately trying to learn this stuff...BRAVO ZULU

      Fifth'd. Compelling demo. And as a result of watching it, I went straight to a homebrew receiver project with a Mosfet RF amp that was unstable above 7mhz. Added 2 turns thru a 43 bead, soldered it right on gate 1, and guess what? It worked!

  • @KL3NCH

    This is great. I loved the cross referencing to the 'scope. One area where it does get confusing is the use of various mixes dependent upon the application: use as a choke against use as a transformer. This leads to folks arguing at cross purposes on forums and elsewhere about which mix to use. A mix that works as an RF choke at a given frequency will most likely not be a suitable mix for a transformer at the same frequency for obvious reasons when you stop to think about it. I do enjoy your videos Sir.

    Thank you for posting this excellent video! It has helped me to understand (on a QUALITATIVE basis) exactly how ferrite beads work. Though I am currently interested in filtering out barely-AUDIBLE-frequency noise (in the 10 KHz to 20 KHz range), I am now prepared to do some trial-and-error testing with different split ferrite beads, installed on both the power cord and audio signal cables of our A/V system. Thanks again!

    I know this vid is old, but gold ! clear demontrations, didn´t know osilators have oscilatotions on the base, I thought it only happened on tube circuits where the cheap and effective solution is a grid stopper resistor, most tubes where deigned for high frec. did´t know that bipolar transistor suffered the same issue. Now I know thanks to you! In fact 2N2222 is a high bandwith transistor (relative to say a BC548).

    @mgabrielle2343 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Indeed very well demonstrated, these filters and suppression of unwanted frequencies both within circuits and power supplies as these can directly affect other sensitive electronic equipment through power lines or other interconnections as well as radiate electromagnetic radiation as radio frequency interference, (RFI) so today you would not be able to market any product unless you meet all RFI regulation under the EMC rules, and only then you could place any product on the market and obtain a CE marking requirement.

    I was right as my guess it was some kind of filter. I asked Best Buy and Office Depot and no one knew.
    Your explanation is very good. I am trying to find the same length power supply cord for my adventure cam
    without the ferrite bead on it. The cord came with a ten year old Cannon camera but works on my Ultra Pro X 10.
    The length is 18". My next step is to try Radio Shack for the cord I need. Subbed and liked.

    I worked as an engineering technician for a large op amp maker 45 years ago and we were always looking to increase the bandwidth of our opamps and multipliers. These were discreet devices that were about 1-1/2" square and had 7 to 9 pins on the base (I still have a few in my parts bins). The circuitry was on small printed circuit cards, these were put into a potting shell and then filled with epoxy. A cheap way to increase the bandwidth was to slide a small ferrite bead over the output pin -worked every time.
