That method can work well if you simply want to distinguish between a couple of cores with widely spaced "cross-over" frequencies; but if the core is a complete unknown, it may not work so well. For example, take a look at the Fair-Rite data for #31 vs #79, or #51 vs #44; you'd be hard-pressed to tell which was which, especially when you then factor in an allowance for manufacturing tolerance.

have, the easiest thing to do is measure the frequency
at which the phase of the impedance is 45 degrees and

epsilon' and epsilon'' curves cross over.
