  • Orbit antenna for a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging apparatus
    Patent number: 4739269
    Abstract: An orbit antenna for a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging apparatus is symmetrized by joining together two concentric conductive loops in series. The antenna is frequency-tuned by a capacitor placed in parallel between the non-interconnected ends of the loops. A receiving circuit having a high input impedance is connected between the midpoint of the loops and one of the capacitor terminals. It is thus shown that the antenna is not unbalanced and endows the received signal with all the advantages of symmetrized antennas.
