Abstract: The invention relates to a filter arrangement for separating radio frequency energy from signal energy in a signal line. The signal line extends at least partly in a first layer of a multi-layer printed circuit board. A grounded surface is arranged in a second layer of the printed circuit board. The signal line to be filtered is interrupted in the first layer in the filter region and continued in a third layer, the second and the third layers being located on opposite sides of the first layer. Due to the skin effect the radio frequency energy will be concentrated on the side of the signal line facing the grounded surface. The side of the signal line remote from the grounded surface is then to a large extent decoupled from radio frequency energy, such that the actual signal path can be continued without being disturbed by radio frequency energy.

Abstract: A filter arrangement is described for filtering a plurality of conductors which are guided from a space comprising electromagnetic fields through a separating wall to a device located in a shielded space, in which the separating wall (24) is formed by a multilayer printed circuit card (86). The printed circuit card (86) comprises a continuous internal instrument ground (32). The instrument ground (32) has as signal passage means narrow apertures (102) through which feed-through conductors (108) are passed at a short distance from the edges of the apertures (102). Electrically conductive surfaces (104,106) on the layers (94,96) adjacent to the instrument ground (32) form filter capacitors with the instrument ground (32). The surfaces (104,106) are connected to the feed-through conductors (108). Filter components (62,64,70,80,82) are formed as SMD-components and mounted on the printed circuit card (26).
