How to wound two turns on a troidal core (for use in the range of 100kHz to 1MHz)

Takayuki HOSODA

In brief, we concluded that below 200kHz, winding silver-plated stranded wire evenly in three or more strands would cause less transmission loss,
and at higher frequencies up to 1MHz, winding wide insulated copper foil would cause less transmission loss.
PVC-coated wire and insulated stranded wire, whose only feature is their thickness, had no advantage above 50kHz.
