Abstract:
An RF(=radio frequency) receiver coil arrangement which receives measurement signals from a measuring sample disposed in a measuring volume of an NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectrometer, the receiver coil comprising:at least one planer substrate element disposed proximate the measuring sample; superconducting, inductively, and capacitively acting conducting structures disposed on said at least one planar substrate element; and means for connecting and arranging said conducting structures to form at least one individual current-carrying resonant circuit, wherein the conducting structures of each individual current-carrying resonant circuit are arranged and connected to each other and wherein each planar substrate element is disposed to generate a magnetic field in a center of the measuring volume which is substantially parallel to a plane of the particular planar substrate element on which said at least one respective resonant circuit is located, wherein a deviation from parallelism of said substantially parallel magnetic field does not exceed 40 degrees.
