CHAPTER 5<br />

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE<br />

The variable frequency pulse spectrometer used in this work<br />

was a Bruker B-KR 322s, a schematic diagram of which is shown in<br />

Figure 5.1. The rf is generated to an accuracy of 1 part in 108<br />

by the Schmondal frequency synthesiser and split into two main<br />

channels. DC gating pulses are supplied by four separate pulse<br />

units feeding in pairs to each channel. The resulting rf pulses<br />

are amplified to a peak power of 500 W and output to the transmit-<br />

ter coil is the probe head. Induced transients in the receiver<br />

coil are passed via a tuned preamplifier and a variable attenuator<br />

to a wide band main amplifier before diode or phase sensitive<br />

detection. The resulting signal is amplified in a final stage<br />

postamplifier.<br />

The spectrometer was augmented by a Bruker B-KR 300z 15 pulse<br />

gated integrator (PGI).<br />
