It seems to me that, if one wanted to make a choke BalUn that covered
a wide frequency range, it could be made with several grades of ferrite in the stack of cores on the coax, a la W2DU, with the highest frequency material at the antenna end. Digikey sells 3 grades of ferrite made by Steward, in long form beads that are intended for common mode choke applications. The low frequency material is similar to Fair-Rite type 75 (u about 5000). The medium frequency material is similar to type 43 (u about 800). And the high frequency material is similar to type 61, only higher loss (u about 125). I have long beads in all of these materials, and some more on back order. If someone would volunteer to measure the common mode impedance of each a set of, say, 3 of each type strung on a foot of wire, to find the useful frequency range, I would be happy to lend them the set of cores. |
