摘要:
Improved loop-gap resonators applicable to Electron-Spin Resonance spectroscopy and to quantum computing employ interdigitated capacitor structures to dramatically increase the capacitance of the resonator, along with corresponding decreases in loop size to enable measurements of small-volume samples or individual quantum bits (qubits). The interdigitated-capacitor structures are designed to minimize parasitic inductance.
摘要:
A passive apparatus including a plurality of resonators increases signal-to-noise ratio of radiofrequency signals emitted by a specimen and captured by an MRI machine. The apparatus increases the magnetic field component of radiofrequency energy during signal transmission from the MRI machine to the specimen, and/or reception of signals from the specimen to the MRI machine. Moreover, the apparatus enhances specimen safety by substantially avoiding unwanted generation of an electric field, or an increase in the electric field component of the RF energy. Use of the apparatus improves the images generated by the MRI machine, and/or reduces the time necessary for the MRI machine to capture the image.

摘要:
A device for, and a method of, generating stimulated emission of microwave or radio frequency electromagnetic radiation, utilize a resonator structure, an input source of microwave or radio frequency electromagnetic radiation to be amplified, and an input of energy arranged to pump the resonator structure and thereby cause amplification of the electromagnetic radiation. The configuration of the resonator structure and/or the materials used in its construction give rise to an increase in the magnetic Purcell factor of the resonator structure.

A method of and miniaturized apparatus adapted for in-situ measurement of degradation of automotive fluids and the like by micro-electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry, wherein the use of a modulated constant magnetic field in an RF resonating variable frequency microwave cavity resonator through which a fluid sample is passed, enables direct detection of molecular changes in such fluid sample resulting from fluid degradation during use.
摘要:
A resonator structure including a first resonator having a first resonator loop formed by a hollow channel with conductive walls and a second resonator having a second resonator loop formed by a hollow channel with conductive walls. The first resonator loop and the second resonator loop intersect so that the first and second resonator loops are substantially shielded to prevent coupling of high frequency energy between the first and second resonator loops. A sample is placed in a space defined by the intersection of the first and second resonator loops. High frequency energy is applied to the first resonator. The angle at which the second resonator loop intersects the first resonator loop is selected to substantially decouple the first resonator from the second resonator. A detector circuit detects the high frequency energy in the second resonator loop and supplies the detected signal for subsequent analysis.
摘要:
A probehead is described for carrying out magnetic resonance imaging measurements on a sample. The sample is located inside a probehead transmission/detection unit in a magnetic field of a predetermined direction. Moreover, the sample may be turned relative to the direction about at least one axis. The transmission/detection unit is a split ring resonator. The split ring resonator may be turned about its resonator axis and may be coupled by coupling means for coupling rf energy to or from, respectively, the split ring resonator. The coupling means are arranged in a stationary position relative to the split ring resonator and are coaxial to the resonator axis.
摘要:
A surface resonator for use in nuclear magnetic resonance tomography is a single turn loop of ribbon-like electrical conductor having spaced ends facing each other which form a capacitor whose capacitance determines the resonant frequency. The loop of ribbon-like conductor is shaped to conform substantially to the generated surface of a truncated cone. The ends of the loop may be in the form of spaced plates for providing the necessary capacitance, or may be connected by one or more discrete component capacitors.
摘要:
A quadrature detection MRI radio frequency coil includes plural axially-extending conductive legs. At least two of the legs include breaks in conductivity at their mid-point with circumferentially extending inner-bridge conductors connected thereacross to which RF input/output feed connections are conveniently made so as to achieve a center fed coil structure, open at both ends. Other axially-extending legs may also include conductive breaks with capacitive coupling thereacross and circumferentially extending outer-bridges between the outer or distal ends of the legs may also include breaks in conductivity with capacitive coupling thereacross.
