Abstract

A simple scheme for dynamically switching the quality factor, Q, of a loop-gap resonator (LGR); working at 250 MHz is presented. The addition of this Q-modulator resulted in 30% improvement in electron paramagnetic resonance imager signal-to-noise ratio. During pulse excitation, this scheme lowered the Q, while higher Q was obtained during signal detection. These conditions favored the image acquisition. The Q-modulator is passive; the transition between different states was actuated by the radio frequency power itself.

用于反射谐振器的250 MHz无源q调制器

动态切换环隙谐振器(LGR)品质因子Q的一种简单方案工作频率为250 MHz。该q调制器的加入使电子顺磁共振成像仪信噪比提高了30%。该方案在脉冲激励过程中降低了Q值，而在信号检测过程中获得了更高的Q值。这些条件有利于图像采集。q调制器是无源的;不同状态之间的转换是由射频电源本身驱动的。

期刊介绍： Concepts in Magnetic Resonance Part B brings together engineers and physicists involved in the design and development of hardware and software employed in magnetic resonance techniques. The journal welcomes contributions predominantly from the fields of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), but also encourages submissions relating to less common magnetic resonance imaging and analytical methods. Contributors come from both academia and industry, to report the latest advancements in the development of instrumentation and computer programming to underpin medical, non-medical, and analytical magnetic resonance techniques.
