Toroidal Cores (2)

This is my first time to use troids, so let’s start from the very beginning. The core is FT-240-43 with AL=1.160uH/t^2.

The inductance is measured at 100kHz by changing the number of turns. The blue shows the measured values, and the red the values computed by AL*(turns^2).

Looks almost reasonable?

I was not using any baluns for my dipole, and I was always thinking that I should do something..
