A transmitter for a magnetic resonance (MR) system, such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system, is described herein. The transmitter includes a coil for applying NMR pulse sequences to a substance. The coil includes a first coil section and a second coil section. The first coil section and second coil section pass current in opposite polarity. The transmitter may also include a transmitter circuit for generating the NMR pulse sequences and providing the NMR pulse sequences to the coil. The transmitter circuit includes a first switch that selectively powers the first coil section and a second switch that selectively powers the second coil section. Operation of the first switch and the second switch generates the NMR pulse sequences.
