Abstract

A resonant coil system with improved sensitivity and signal-to-noise performance is described. A primary coil is tuned to a first resonance frequency and inductively coupled to a secondary coil that is separately tuned to a second resonance frequency. The primary and secondary coils form a resonant system with a resonance frequency that is a function of the primary and secondary coil resonance frequencies. The resonance frequency of the coil system is less than both the primary resonance frequency and the secondary resonance frequency. The mutual inductance between the two coils is high and the resonance frequency of the coil system's parallel mode is well separated from that of the anti-parallel mode.
