摘要
This article describes an impedance-matching system for a flexible surface-coil-type resonator (FSCR) used in electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) experiments. To design the matching system, the input impedance of the FSCR was formulated using transmission line theory, and then the parameters of a matching circuit using varicap diodes were calculated. Experimental measurements of input impedance showed the validity of the formulation and the usefulness of the matching system. The matching circuit made by the varicap diodes 1SV186 offered the tunable bandwidth of 50 MHz for the prototype FSCR. Such a matching system also offers the possibility of remotely tuning EPR resonators electronically. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.
