title: Probe efficiency improvement with remote and transmission line tuning and matching.
abstract: In certain nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) applications in which accessibility to the gantry is limited, performing optimal tuning and matching represents a major problem. Here, we discuss a method of tuning NMR probe circuits and matching their impedances which uses cables with different impedance values. This simple but efficient method may be advantageous compared with much more difficult perfect tuning and matching.
