Patent ID: 7795871

Claim:
A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) resonator comprising: a flexible dielectric foil having a first end region and a second end region, said foil rolled into a substantially cylindrical shape such that said first end region overlaps with and is radially outside of said second end region, said foil constituting an inductive section, wherein said foil has at least one through-hole extending through said foil at said second end region; a first conductive coating disposed on an outside of said foil; a second conductive coating disposed on an inside of said foil; means for electrically connecting said second conductive coating at said first end region to said first conductive coating at said second end region; and at least one discrete capacitor connected between said first conductive coating at said first end region and said second conductive coating at said second end region via said through-hole to form a capacitive section.
