remove interfering noise from power supply

Hi, I have 2 noise sources on my PSU.

1. Here is IR kit that I use
http://www.velleman.eu/distributor/support/downloads/?code=MK120
The transmitter http://www.velleman.eu/downloads/files/schema/transmitter.jpg
Frequency mesured 6Khz


2. I use PWM motor driver http://www.velleman.eu/distributor/support/downloads/?code=K8004
Frequency measured 38Khz

How can filter the noise from each device so that my PSU wont be distorted and other electronics would work ok?

Would this DC-DC converter (for IR module it needs only 100mA) with galvanic separation make the frequency isolated from my main PSU? For PWM motor I really don't know how to do it.

I have used shielded cable now for my PWM signal, and placed 0.33uf cap on my motor, that made huge impact ant I can only measure around 6Khz only frequency that I was unable to filter using 2 caps and some toroid that I placed on that circuit power cable.

So any ideas or do I have to use DC-DC converter ?

I'm not sure what you're building because two of your links brought me to a home page. I was able to view the .jpg though. I would say try a 10Ω in series with the supply line with .1uF caps to Gnd on both ends but you said that you tried that with a toroid.

Hi, My circuit looks like this. I don't know inductor value, it's from scap I have desoldeted a while ago. Have a few more but without LC meter I cant measure them :(

I was thinking in line of a second inductor, make the circuit symmetrical on both axis.
Added another inductor but no difference, inductors are not the same.

I desoldered the filter circuit and just connected it to the transmitter power circuit positive and negative terminals. Then I connected frequency meter and I can't measure any frequency after the filter.

So why then the filter connected in the power line to the transmitter doesn't work the same way (filter noise after itself?)
