  @article{Kern2023, abstract = {In this paper, we introduce voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) as a new type of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detector, enabling dead time-free detection of NMR signals after an excitation pulse as well as the real-time inductive detection of Rabi oscillations during the pulse. Together with the theory of operation, we present the details of a custom-designed prototype implementation of a VCO-based NMR detector with an operating frequency around 62 MHz. The proof-of-concept measurements obtained with this prototype clearly demonstrate the possibility of performing dead time-free NMR experiments with coherent spin manipulation. Moreover, we also experimentally verified the capability of VCO-based detectors for performing real-time inductive detection of Rabi oscillations during the excitation pulse.}, author = {Kern, Michal and Klotz, Tobias and Spiess, Maximilian and Mavridis, Petros and Bl{\"u}mich, Bernhard and Anders, Jens}, day = 29, doi = {10.1007/s00723-023-01599-8}, issn = {1613-7507}, journal = {Applied Magnetic Resonance}, month = {08}, title = {Dead Time-Free Detection of NMR Signals Using Voltage-Controlled Oscillators}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/s00723-023-01599-8}, year = 2023 }

  @inproceedings{9567823, abstract = {This paper presents a single-chip high-voltage transceiver ASIC for low-field NMR spectroscopy. The chip integrates an adjustable high-voltage (HV) H-bridge power amplifier (PA) with a PLL frequency synthesizer and a quadrature low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver, achieving a measured input-referred voltage noise density of 1.1 nV / ✓Hz. The operating frequency of the chip is from 0.1 MHz to 200 MHz, supporting all relevant Larmor frequencies for low-field mobile and portable NMR. The PA consists of four isolated 50 V NMOS transistors, isolated gate drivers with a digitally adjustable deadtime control, high-frequency level shifters, and a TX-control logic that supports bootstrapping of the integrated high-side drivers. The output current can be defined by an adjustable voltage supply from 0 V to 50 V, delivering a maximum current of 2.0 App into a non-tuned 3 mm NMR coil and up to 8.3 App into a parallel tuned NMR coil. Inside a custom-designed 1.1 T portable NMR magnet, the system achieves a spin sensitivity of 1.1 × 10<sup>16</sup>spins/ ✓Hz and a concentration sensitivity of 1mM/✓Hz.}, author = {Bürkle, Heiko and Klotz, Tobias and Krapf, Reiner and Anders, Jens}, booktitle = {ESSCIRC 2021 - IEEE 47th European Solid State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC)}, doi = {10.1109/ESSCIRC53450.2021.9567823}, month = {09}, pages = {327-330}, title = {A 0.1 MHz to 200 MHz high-voltage CMOS transceiver for portable NMR systems with a maximum output current of 2.0 A<inf>pp</inf>}, year = 2021 }

The chip integrates a conventional low intermediate frequency (low-IF) receiver together with a high-voltage (HV) H-bridge power amplifier (PA) and a PLL frequency synthesizer.
