Abstract

A transformer filter arrangement (30) for passing signals at a fundamental frequency and suppressing signals at one or more interfering frequencies is disclosed. It comprises a transformer (100) having a first winding (110) and a second winding (120), wherein the first winding (110) has a first end (112a) and a second end (122b) and the second winding (120) has a first end (122a) and a second end (122b). It further comprises one or more capacitors (130a-e). For each capacitor (130a-c) of a first set of at least one capacitor of the one or more capacitors (130a-e), the capacitor (130a-c) is connected between a pair of taps (a1, a2; b1, b2; c1, c2) of the first winding (110), wherein each tap (a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, c2) of the pair of taps (a1, a2; b1, b2; c1, c2) is located between the first end (112a) and the second end (112b) of the first winding (110), and the capacitor (130a-c), together with an inductive sub segment (140a-c) of the first winding (110), which is connected in parallel with the capacitor (130a-c) between the pair of taps (a1, a2; b1, b2; c1, c2), forms a parallel LC circuit which is tuned to resonate at one of said interfering frequencies for suppressing signals at s…
