Digital nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer

A digital nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer based on a PC is described. The instrument works in a digital manner not only in rf frequency synthesis but also in receiver detection and filtering. A control program and a data processing procedure are developed using the Delphi 5 for Windows ’95/’98 operating system. Compared with a traditional spectrometer, the present design is rather simple in its hardware parts. As a consequence, building a NMR spectrometer using the proposed design is simple and low cost.
