Mode Signal

Let us suppose that Lj and that we add a voltage to both. Thus, we have the augmented values V = Lj -h K 2 = K2 + K . If we use V and V 2 as inputs to a difference amplifier, then the output will be 

The voltage is said to be a common-mode voltage (signal). It is common to both input voltages and is subtracted out by the difference amplifier. The degree to which a difference amplifier is insensitive to a common-mode voltage is called the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). If V is increased by a factor of 10,000 before a factor-of-one change in is noted, then the CMRR is 10,000 1. 

One advantage of using difference amplifiers is that common-mode signal hum (60 Hz) and noise are eliminated by the difference-input connection as long as they do not exceed the CMRR of the amplifier.

The Bloeh equations for the motion of the v andy magnetizations (usually ealled the u- and v-mode signals), in the presenee of a weak radiofteqiieney (RF) field, fi, are given in equation (B2.4.2) ). 

There are actually two independent time periods involved, t and t. The time period ti after the application of the first pulse is incremented systematically, and separate FIDs are obtained at each value of t. The second time period, represents the detection period and it is kept constant. The first set of Fourier transformations (of rows) yields frequency-domain spectra, as in the ID experiment. When these frequency-domain spectra are stacked together (data transposition), a new data matrix, or pseudo-FID, is obtained, S(absorption-mode signals are modulated in amplitude as a function of t. It is therefore necessary to carry out second Fourier transformation to convert this pseudo FID to frequency domain spectra. The second set of Fourier transformations (across columns) on S (/j, F. produces a two-dimensional spectrum S F, F ). This represents a general procedure for obtaining 2D spectra. 

Dispersion mode A Lorentzian line shape that arises from a phase-sensitive detector (which is 90 out of phase with one that gives a pure-absorption-mode line). Dispersion-mode signals are dipolar in shape and produce long tails. They are not readily integrable, and we need to avoid them in a 2D spectrum. 

According to the solution of the Bloch equations (Chapter 5), the magnetic resonance absorption, sometimes called the v-mode signal , v, is given by eqn (1.10).

A calibrator circuit 66) is useful for intensity calibration of absorption and dispersion mode signals. A calibrator circuit for the Pound-Knight type of spectrometer is also used... 

Figure 11.2. Dispersion mode (first-derivative) Lorentzian signal. The position of a dispersion mode signal is where the line crosses its baseline the halfwidth is the horizontal distance between the maximum and the minimum of the signal curve. Compare this signal with the absorption mode Lorentzian signal in Figure 3.18 both were plotted using the same parameter values (see review problem 11.5).

This simple phase-incrementation idea, not particularly emphasized by the authors at the time, has more recently had a considerable impact on NMR methodology. First, it was made the basis of one of the standard methods for obtaining pure-phase two-dimensional spectra, replacing the undesirable phase-twist line shape with a pure absorption-mode signal. Secondly, it has provided a neat way to generate an extensive array of simultaneous soft radiofrequency pulses covering an... 

Although either uorv could be detected, normally the component v or M /) that is out of phase with respect to the B field is detected and observed. This component is called the absorption mode, and the component u or M/ that is in phase with is called the dispersion mode. Whereas the dispersion-mode signal goes to zero at resonance, when 0) = coo (and is used in electron spin resonance), the absorption mode goes to —MoyB T2/ + y B T T2) which has the familiar maximum value at co = ca(>. 

The lock channel regulates the field by monitoring the dispersion mode deuterium resonance rather than the absorption mode signal that is usually considered in NMR, and aims to maintain the centre of this resonance at a constant frequency (Fig. 3.45). A drift in the magnetic field alters the... 

Figure 3.45. The spectrometer lock system monitors the dispersion mode signal of the solvent deuterium resonance. A shift of the resonance frequency due to drift in the static field generates an error signal that indicates the magnitude and direction of the drift, enabling a feedback system to compensate this.

In (c) the phase shift is 90°. Now it is Sy which takes the form of a damped cosine wave, whereas Sx is a sine wave. The Fourier transform gives a spectrum in which the absorption mode signal now appears in the imaginary part. Finally in (d) the phase shift is 180° and this gives a negative absorption mode signal in the real part of the spectrum.

The complex numbers 0A and 0B give a resultant rotating magnetization, the imaginary components being proportional to the absorption mode signal. 

The amplitude of the v mode signal may be plotted by changing Acj, the difference in frequency between the applied radio field and the mean of wA and wB, and if pA = pB = 0-5 the signals take on the appearance in Fig. 2 as a function of the exchange rate parameter (rS). At fast rates of exchange, (tS) 1, the spectrum consists of a sharp peak centred on the... 

The line width limit with very fast exchange is (2/T2) where T2A = T2b = T2- Equation (42) merely gives the v mode signal in the absence of exchange, as in equation (15b) when wf 2 T2 < 1. Equation (43) is a very useful relation since, in the limit of very fast exchange, chemical shift changes can be determined by changes in pA and pH, the concentrations of species present in equilibrium. 

T then wiggles will appear after the signal due to a microscopic nuclear magnetization which is induced at resonance, persists for a time T, and beats against the R.F. field. The v mode signal takes the form... 

One simple approach has been that of Cole et al. who propose the use of two sensors run in a ratiometric mode [12]. Figure 9 shows a CMOS chip that drives a pair of resistive odour sensors one polymer sensor is active while the other is passivated. The output of the ratio of the resistances is amplified rather than the absolute resistance of just one sensor. This removes at the input stage of the amplifier any common mode signals, such as temperature drift.
