This study introduces a doubly resonant, inductively coupled probe for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This design enables stable, rapid automatic tuning and matching by making these processes orthogonal.

Area of Science:

  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy
  • RF Probe Design
  • Control Systems Engineering

Background:

  • Automatic tuning and matching of NMR probes are challenging due to interacting mechanisms.
  • Existing probe designs often require specific configurations for optimal performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the difficulties in automatic probe tuning and matching.
  • To propose and validate a novel probe design for improved performance.

Main Methods:

  • Advocating a doubly resonant, inductively coupled probe design.
  • Implementing negative feedback control for tuning and matching elements.
  • Utilizing error signals from a bridge and NMR spectrometer.
  • Analyzing the effects of error signal phasing.
