"There is provided a method for blocking a portion of energy of a
signal in a power line. The method includes equipping a high frequency
magnetic core with a coil, connecting a capacitor across terminals of
the coil to create a resonant circuit that resonates at a frequency of
the signal, and placing the magnetic core around the power line, at a
location where the blocking is desired."
Hmmm, a trap! Without getting bogged down in the details of the coil
and the current / phase relationships, is this likely to be effective?
Might well be. A classic method of blocking single-frequency
interference current from flowing down a feedline is to stick a
parallel-resonant trap next to it. The commonest variety I've seen
described is a wire loop with tuning capacitor. I have no reason to
believe that a core-based version would not work.
A parallel resonant trap in an antenna doesn't eliminate current
beyond the trap at the frequency of trap resonance. Will it make the
region of the powerline between the injector and the trap a better
radiatior for the same injector power?
Could easily do so.
