Investigating a Quadrant Surface Coil Array for NQR Remote Sensing

Abstract

This paper is on the design and fabrication of a surface coil array in a quadrant layout for NQR (Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance) remote sensing. In this paper, each of four surface coils will be parallel tuned and series matched with common electrical components to resonant at the same frequency. Coils will be in a quadrant surface layout in which all coils are in a four square arrangement to measure mutual coupling and SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) at standoff distances perpendicular from each coil.
