Abstract
For measurements with increased accuracy in a nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus, the detection device is equipped with one or more surface coils which act as measuring coils. To avoid mutual interference between a radio-frequency transmitting coil and the measuring coil, the measuring coil is provided with a decoupling circuit. The surface coil and the decoupling circuit form a part of a tuned circuit which is tuned to a significantly higher natural frequency during activation of the transmitting coil. On the other hand, the transmitting coil is shorted during detection with the surface coil by a low resistance shorting circuit, thereby avoiding interference with the radio-frequency transmission signals.
