SUMMARY

The discussion centers on creating a powerful antenna capable of emitting electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of 1-50 MHz for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. The user expresses dissatisfaction with a standard solenoid's capabilities and seeks guidance on constructing a more effective antenna. Participants clarify the relationship between solenoids and EM wave emission, emphasizing the need for a specialized antenna design to achieve the desired power output for NMR applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic wave propagation
  • Familiarity with antenna design principles
  • Knowledge of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology
  • Experience with RF (radio frequency) engineering concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research advanced antenna designs for RF applications
  • Explore the principles of electromagnetic wave generation
  • Study the specifications and requirements for NMR experiments
  • Learn about solenoid applications in electromagnetic fields
USEFUL FOR

Electronics engineers, RF engineers, researchers in nuclear magnetic resonance, and hobbyists interested in antenna construction and electromagnetic theory.

Hey,

So I want to make an antenna which emits powerful waves in the frequency range of 1-50 MHz.

Yet I don't know exactly how powerful those waves should be, but a normal solenoid is not enough... :P It should be really powerful... :D

Any help is welcome :)

What is the purpose of this and what does a solenoid have to do with it?
 
Well... I might be wrong but I thougt that it was actually possible to emit EM waves with a solenoid; isn't that the case?

oh and yeah... I need it actually to do an experiment about nuclear magnetic resonance

So you want to make an MRI machine then? Or something similar?
 
well if you put it like that, yes... but I mean everything I want to do is observing the NMR phenomenon and all I need for the moment is such an antenna... so could anyone help me?
