Abstract
Systems and methods for pre-tuning a main Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) probe using a forward sensing probe include a determination of an amount of resonance detuning of the forward sensing probe caused by a moving object entering a field of view of the forward sensing probe. The amount of resonance detuning is used to pre-tune the main probe such that when the moving object enters a field of view of the main probe, the main probe will move back into tune while delivering optimal power to the object for measurement and identification of a material therein.
