[time-freq] TADD-1 Bandpass Filter

[Mike Suhar]

John will have to tell you if that number was from an actual measurement or
formula.  Best to wind one and measure it.  With that said however, you may
want to skip the BPF.  I don't know your application, but for my purposes I
have never installed the filter.  I am feeding reference inputs to such
devices as HP 8657A, 3586C, 5335A, etc.

I am finally building my TADD-1 Distribution Amplifier kit, but I am
confused about the hand-wound inductors used in the bandpass filter option.
The TADD-1 instruction manual states that for 10 MHz, the nominal value
should be 14.5 uH, which can be achieved with 27 turns of #24 wire on an
Amidon T-50-2 core.  However, Amidon's inductance charts on page 1-24 of
their catalog shows that more than 50 turns are needed to reach that
inductance on a T-50-2 core.  The inductance table shows that 27 turns on a
T-50-2 core will result in less than 5 uH.  Am I missing something here?
