Large RF chokes increase the inductance/resistance of the DC loop and thus lead to unwanted power dissipation and bulk. We theoretically analyzed the added coil loss induced by bridge inductors in AC/DC coils and found that large bridge chokes can be replaced by low-profile inductors with much smaller values, if the capacitance is adjusted to compensate the resonance frequency shift. This will reduce the footprint of AC/DC coils as well as the inductance/resistance and thus power dissipation, with a cost of slightly higher coil loss.
