The best way to get rid off common mode noise for remote measurement


I measure DC pseudo-differentially over 1-2 m wires. In order to avoid any voltage drop in wires the built in ADC input buffers are used, thus there almost no current flow. I expect the wires to catch a lot of common mode noise from RF to 50 Hz power grid.


Most materials about common mode noise that I found, consider it in the context of power line that involve common-mode chokes. Howver, I am not sure if this is suitable for my measurement.



Another way is the vanilla common mode filter

But again, I am not sure if it would be good enough and provide adequate level of filtering.


Moreover, there might be more methods that I am not aware of.


What possibilities are there to suppress common mode noise, and what is the best method for a measurement application?


In addition, how much the application of a shielded twisted pair cable would help to ease the problem?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
