I tested that 8mH coil from Mouser. Verified at 8mH with an LCR meter and with the $500 micro tweezer thingy. Doesn't work!! It behaves like it was 20mH or something like that. The attenuation is way too high. But 8mH was the perfect value with that funny milspec 0-10mH box I got off Ebay, which was heavy enough to contain pretty big inductors. So what is happening? Must be something in the waveform which is buggering up the way these inductors behave, in conjunction with the demodulation scheme used to "decode" the LVDT position. Maybe it is saturating, but saturation has the opposite effect: it *lowers* the effective inductance. So I bought a 2.5mH one from Mouser, again one which can do 1.5A or so, and will try that, after the potting compound has gone off :)
