A practical introduction to radio frequency electronics for NMR probe builders.

ABSTRACT: In this tutorial paper, we describe some basic principles and practical considerations for designing probe circuits for NMR or MRI. The goal is building a bridge from material that is familiar from undergraduate physics courses to more specialized information needed to put together and tune a resonant circuit for magnetic resonance. After a brief overview of DC and AC circuits, we discuss the properties of circuit elements used in an NMR probe and how they can be assembled into building blocks for multi-channel circuits. We also discuss the use of transmission lines as circuit elements as well as practical considerations for improving circuit stability and power handling.
