Line filter, the Glossary
A line filter (aka EMC filter, EMI filter, RFI filter) is an electronic filter that is placed between the mains electricity input and internal circuitry of electronic equipment to attenuate conducted radio frequencies radio frequency interference (RFI), also known as electromagnetic interference (EMI).[1]

Attenuator (electronics)
An attenuator is an electronic device that reduces the power of a signal without appreciably distorting its waveform.
See Line filter and Attenuator (electronics)
Common-mode signal
In electrical engineering, a common-mode signal is the identical component of voltage present at both input terminals of an electrical device.
See Line filter and Common-mode signal
Decibel
The decibel (symbol: dB) is a relative unit of measurement equal to one tenth of a bel (B).
Differential signalling
Differential signalling is a method for electrically transmitting information using two complementary signals.
See Line filter and Differential signalling
Electromagnetic interference
Electromagnetic interference (EMI), also called radio-frequency interference (RFI) when in the radio frequency spectrum, is a disturbance generated by an external source that affects an electrical circuit by electromagnetic induction, electrostatic coupling, or conduction.
See Line filter and Electromagnetic interference
Electronic filter
Electronic filters are a type of signal processing filter in the form of electrical circuits.
See Line filter and Electronic filter
Federal Communications Commission
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is an independent agency of the United States government that regulates communications by radio, television, wire, satellite, and cable across the United States.

Film capacitor
Film capacitors, plastic film capacitors, film dielectric capacitors, or polymer film capacitors, generically called film caps as well as power film capacitors, are electrical capacitors with an insulating plastic film as the dielectric, sometimes combined with paper as carrier of the electrodes.
See Line filter and Film capacitor
IEC 60320
IEC 60320 Appliance couplers for household and similar general purposes is a set of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) specifying non-locking connectors for connecting power supply cords to electrical appliances of voltage not exceeding 250 V (a.c.) and rated current not exceeding 16 A. Line filter and IEC 60320 are Mains power connectors.
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published monthly by the IEEE.
See Line filter and IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics
Mains electricity
Mains electricity or utility power, grid power, domestic power, and wall power, or, in some parts of Canada, hydro, is a general-purpose alternating-current (AC) electric power supply.
See Line filter and Mains electricity
Power entry module
A power entry module (PEM) is an electromechanical component used in electrical appliances, integrating the appliance inlet with other components such as. Line filter and power entry module are Mains power connectors.
