Abstract
An apparatus for performing a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment in a borehole penetrating the earth includes: a carrier configured to be conveyed through the borehole; an antenna assembly disposed on the carrier and configured to receive an NMR signal; and an active gain circuit having an input coupled to the antenna and configured to apply gain to the received NMR signal and to provide an output signal comprising NMR experiment data. The apparatus also includes a feedback circuit configured to feed the output signal back to the input of the active gain circuit; wherein the signal fed back to the input of the active gain circuit is out of phase with the received NMR signal and the feedback circuit provides an electrical quality factor Q value of an antenna assembly that is less than the electrical quality factor Q value of the antenna assembly without the feedback circuit.
