We present a wide-bandwidth, voltage-controlled current source that is easily integrated with radiofrequency magnetic field coils. Our design uses current feedback to compensate for the frequency-dependent impedance of a radiofrequency antenna. We are able to deliver peak currents greater than 100 mA over a 300 kHz to 54 MHz frequency span. The radiofrequency current source fits onto a printed circuit board smaller than 4 cm and consumes less than 1.3 W of power. It is suitable for use in deployable quantum sensors and nuclear magnetic resonance systems.
我们展示了一种宽带宽、压控电流源,它易于与射频磁场线圈集成。我们的设计采用电流反馈来补偿射频天线与频率相关的阻抗。在300 kHz至54 MHz的频率范围内,我们能够提供大于100 mA的峰值电流。该射频电流源可安装在小于4平方厘米的印刷电路板上,功耗低于1.3瓦。它适用于可部署量子传感器和核磁共振系统。
