Abstract: This invention relates to a radio frequency ("RF) choke having improved insertion loss and reduced hum modulation. The RF choke includes three conductors wound in series around an elongated core. The first conductor forms a first group of windings where each turn abuts the next turn. The second conductor forms a second group windings where each turn is spaced from the next. The third conductor forms a third group of windings where each turn abuts the next turn. The second and third groups of windings are wound in an opposite direction around the core than the first group of windings. The elongated core can include two separate diameters.
