Coils and Probe Circuits

This chapter begins by describing the probe circuits that are commonly used in NMR measurements. The analysis shows the importance of probe dynamics for low-field NMR and MRI, where the probe bandwidth becomes comparable to or smaller than the measurement bandwidth. The results also provide the theoretical basis for the probe designs that are discussed in the book. Finally, the chapter discusses the design of RF coils and probe circuits for both enclosed and single-sided geometries.
