Radio-frequency spectrometer subsystem for a magnetic resonance imaging system

A radio-frequency (RF) spectrometer subsystem, for a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging system, provides high-power RF pulse signals each having an envelope of minimum distortion; a portion of the actual RF magnetic field, in the sample-examination volume, is returned to the spectro...

Zusammenfassung:A radio-frequency (RF) spectrometer subsystem, for a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and imaging system, provides high-power RF pulse signals each having an envelope of minimum distortion; a portion of the actual RF magnetic field, in the sample-examination volume, is returned to the spectrometer for subsequent correction of the RF signal characteristics responsive to a comparison of the RF magnetic field sample waveform to the requested pulse envelope waveform.
