A transformer-coupled double-resonant probe for NMR imaging and spectroscopy.
A new type of double-resonant coil which takes advantage of the properties of a radio-frequency transformer is described. Two concentric loops are wound in close proximity to yield a high mutual inductance. The primary side is tuned to 34 MHz for 31P and the secondary side is tuned to 85 MHz for protons. A single lead allows program control over frequency without the need to rearrange cabling. Proton and phosphorus spectroscopy are made possible over essentially the same volume of interest without the need for repositioning the sample.
