Default Ferrite Chokes: What is the maximum impedance that can be obtained?

Good advice. In antenna applications, we need to strive to keep the flux
density low enough that ferrites behave essentially linearly. If we
don't, harmonic generation will result.

Fortunately for us, the flux density decreases as frequency increases,
all else being equal. Also, many ferrites which are commonly used for
common mode chokes (current baluns), EMI filters, and the like will get
hot enough to explode before the flux density gets anywhere near saturation.
