This work presents a technique to measure the attenuation of differential mode noise provided by common mode chokes. The proposed setup is a simpler alternative to the balanced setup commonly employed to that end, and its main advantage is that it avoids the use of auxiliary circuits (baluns). We make use of a modal analysis of a high-frequency circuit model of the common mode choke to identify the natural modes actually excited both in the standard balanced setup and in the simpler alternative setup proposed here. This analysis demonstrates that both setups are equivalent at low frequencies and makes it possible to identify the key differences between them at high frequencies. To analyze the scope and interest of the proposed measurement technique we have measured several commercial common mode chokes and we have thoroughly studied the sensitivity of the measurements taken with the proposed setup to electric and magnetic couplings. We have found that the proposed setup can be useful for quick assessment of the attenuation provided by a common mode choke for differential mode noise in a frequency range that encompasses the frequencies where most electromagnetic compatibility regulations impose limits to the conducted emissions of electronic equipment.
