Hi Dan.

Two ferrite manufacturers I use are Stewart and Fair-Rite. Both of them have catalogs containing great detail graphs of performance of their various materials.

Some of the 43 and 44 ferrite materials have very good low frequency performance. I would suggest, because I have no further details, that you contact their respective engineers as to what materials, form factors, and other considerations would work best.

I have always been reluctant to place ferrite beads in the ground path, but
I see them frequently in reference designs for USB and Analog Audio.

What kind material should this be and what characteristics would this type
of ferrite have.  I am assuming this ferrite would not have 600 Ohm
impedance @ 100MHz

Thanks in advance,
