A sample pipe is provided in a sample temperature control pipe. A detection coil is provided in a low-temperature airtight chamber and configured to irradiate a sample with a high-frequency magnetic field. A room-temperature shield is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the sample temperature control pipe or on an inner circumferential surface thereof, and is configured to block irradiation of the high-frequency magnetic field from the detection coil from reaching a region other than an observation object. A low-temperature shield is provided in an airtight chamber and between the detection coil and the room-temperature shield and is configured to block irradiation of the high-frequency magnetic field from the detection coil from reaching the room-temperature shield.

NMR probe

In a magnetic resonance measurement apparatus such as an NMR measurement apparatus, when a frequency of an observation nucleus falls within a high frequency band, an RF reception signal is converted into an intermediate frequency signal, and is input to an analog-to-digital converter. In this case, under-sampling is executed for the intermediate frequency signal in the analog-to-digital converter, and a second-order aliased signal component generated from a target signal component is observed. On the other hand, when the frequency of the observation nucleus falls within a low frequency band, over-sampling for the RF reception signal is executed.

Apparatus and method for processing reception signal in magnetic resonance measurement apparatus

In a magnetic resonance measurement apparatus, a plurality of transmission signals are combined to generate a digital combined signal. The digital combined signal is converted into an analog combined signal by a D/A converter. The signal includes, for example, a first pulse of a rectangular shape and a second pulse of a mountain shape. During measurement, an operation of a dynamic variable attenuator is changed immediately after the first pulse. With this process, the second pulse is suppressed, and a suppressed second pulse is generated.
