Power over Coax (PoC)

The PoC filter is placed close to the Fakra connector and consists of multiple inductors to separate the data and power signal. Chose the trace width to provide 50Ω, single-ended characteristic impedance (microstrip or stripline). Approximately 8mils to 10mils is an acceptable recommendation for the trace width to match the impedance and be able to withstand the current drawn. Keep the distance between the Fakra connector and the first inductor of the PoC filter as short as possible.
