[sci.electronics] High Frequency magnetic materials

Oh great gods of electrical engineering, I have an urgent request for
info on magnetic core materials.

I am building a high-frequency, low current, current transformer and would 
love to know what companies, if any, could supply a small toroid (inner 
diameter about 2 cm [ ~0.75 in.], outer diam. ~ 3 or 4 cm [~1.25 to 1.5 in.],
thickness ~ 1 cm [~0.4 in.])  with a high initial relative permeability (500 to 
5000) which will work into the 100MHz range.  

I realize that in most cases the trade-off between high initial perm and high
frequencies limits what I can get.  Siemens, for example, has a 1GHz material,
but its initial perm is ~8.  Most important to my application is bandwidth,
so suggestions of initial perm.= ~250, bandwidth= ~200MHz would be gladly 
listened to.

Thank you, and please hurry, I need this ASAP.
