We propose a new approach to improve the isolation of
NMR signals originating from the field probe and from
the imaging object without using an independent
transceiver. We use an RF coil (Tx loop) to pick up the
RF energy during RF transmission to the field probe
inside an RF shield. During RF reception, the Tx loop is
detuned such that the NMR signal from the imaging object
will not be picked up by the Tx loop and the field probe
can remain isolated inside the RF shielding. This design
is empirically demonstrated by an one-channel prototype
system.
